Definition
Important

Copies a specified number of bytes from a source array starting at a particular offset to a destination array starting at a particular offset.
public:
static void BlockCopy(Array ^ src, int srcOffset, Array ^ dst, int dstOffset, int count);public static void BlockCopy (Array src, int srcOffset, Array dst, int dstOffset, int count);static member BlockCopy : Array * int * Array * int * int -> unitPublic Shared Sub BlockCopy (src As Array, srcOffset As Integer, dst As Array, dstOffset As Integer, count As Integer)Parameters
- src
- Array
The source buffer.
- srcOffset
- Int32
The zero-based byte offset into src.
- dst
- Array
The destination buffer.
- dstOffset
- Int32
The zero-based byte offset into dst.
- count
- Int32
The number of bytes to copy.
Exceptions
src or dst is null.
src or dst is not an array of primitives.
-or-
The number of bytes in src is less than srcOffset plus count.
-or-
The number of bytes in dst is less than dstOffset plus count.
srcOffset, dstOffset, or count is less than 0.
Examples
The following example copies regions of arrays by using the BlockCopy method. For each BlockCopy operation, it lists the source and destination arrays as both an array of values and as a sequence of bytes. The example illustrates the importance of considering a system's endianness when working with the BlockCopy method: Because Windows systems are little-endian, the lower-order bytes of a primitive data type's value precede the higher-order bytes.

Remarks
This method copies count bytes from src, beginning at srcOffset, to dst, beginning at dstOffset. Both srcOffset and dstOffset are zero-based; that is, the first byte in each buffer is at position 0, not position 1.
The BlockCopy method accesses the bytes in the src parameter array using offsets into memory, not programming constructs such as indexes or upper and lower array bounds. For example, if in the programming language of your application you declare an Int32 array with a zero-based lower bound of -50, and then pass the array and an offset of 5 to the BlockCopy method, the first array element the method will access is the second element of the array, which is at index -49. Furthermore, which byte of array element -49 is accessed first depends on the endianness of the computer that is executing your application.
As its name suggests, the BlockCopy method copies a block of bytes as a whole, rather than copying one byte at a time. Therefore, if src and dst reference the same array, and the range from srcOffset + count -1 overlaps the range from dstOffset + count - 1, the values of the overlapping bytes are not overwritten before they are copied to the destination. In the following example, the values of bytes 0-16 in an array named arr are copied to bytes 12-28. Despite the overlapping range, the values of the source bytes are successfully copied.
const int INT_SIZE = 4;
array<Int32>^ arr = gcnew array<Int32> { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 };
Buffer::BlockCopy(arr, 0 * INT_SIZE, arr, 3 * INT_SIZE, 4 * INT_SIZE);
for each (int value in arr)
Console::Write("{0} ", value);
// The example displays the following output:
// 2 4 6 2 4 6 8 16 18 20
const int INT_SIZE = 4;
int[] arr = { 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 };
Buffer.BlockCopy(arr, 0 * INT_SIZE, arr, 3 * INT_SIZE, 4 * INT_SIZE);
foreach (int value in arr)
Console.Write("{0} ", value);
// The example displays the following output:
// 2 4 6 2 4 6 8 16 18 20
let intSize = 4
let arr = [| 2; 4; 6; 8; 10; 12; 14; 16; 18; 20 |]

printf $"{value} "
// The example displays the following output:
