Array.CreateInstance Method (Type, Int32)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Creates a one-dimensional Array of the specified Type and length, with zero-based indexing.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
<SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute> _
Public Shared Function CreateInstance ( _
    elementType As Type, _
    length As Integer _
) As Array

[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public static Array CreateInstance(
    Type elementType,
    int length
)

Parameters

elementType
Type: System.Type
The Type of the Array to create.

length
Type: System.Int32
The size of the Array to create.

Return Value

Type: System.Array
A new one-dimensional Array of the specified Type with the specified length, using zero-based indexing.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	elementType is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
ArgumentException	elementType is not a valid Type.
NotSupportedException	elementType is not supported. For example, Void is not supported. -or- elementType is an open generic type.
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	length is less than zero.

Remarks

Unlike most classes, Array provides the CreateInstance method, instead of public constructors, to allow for late bound access.

Reference-type elements are initialized to nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). Value-type elements are initialized to zero.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is length.

Examples

The following code example shows how to create and initialize a one-dimensional Array.

Note:
To run this example, see Building Examples That Use a Demo Method and a TextBlock Control.


Public Class Example

   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

      ' Creates and initializes a one-dimensional Array of type Int32.
      Dim my1DArray As Array = Array.CreateInstance(GetType(Int32), 5)
      Dim i As Integer
      For i = my1DArray.GetLowerBound(0) To my1DArray.GetUpperBound(0)
         my1DArray.SetValue(i + 1, i)
      Next i
      ' Displays the values of the Array.
      outputBlock.Text &= "The one-dimensional Array contains the " _
         + "following values:" & vbCrLf
      PrintValues(outputBlock, my1DArray)

   End Sub

   Public Shared Sub PrintValues(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal myArr As Array)
      Dim myEnumerator As System.Collections.IEnumerator = _
         myArr.GetEnumerator()
      Dim i As Integer = 0
      Dim cols As Integer = myArr.GetLength((myArr.Rank - 1))
      While myEnumerator.MoveNext()
         If i < cols Then
            i += 1
         Else
            outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
            i = 1
         End If
         outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(ControlChars.Tab + "{0}", myEnumerator.Current)
      End While
      outputBlock.Text &= vbCrLf
   End Sub
End Class
