Name
Stack.CopyTo Method
Class
System.Collections.Stack
Syntax
stackvariable
.CopyTo(array, index
)
-
array
Use: Required
Data Type: Array of Objects
Array to which to copy the stack’s objects
-
index
Use: Required
Data Type: Integer
The index of the first array element to receive an element of the stack
Return Value
None
Description
Copies the stack elements into an array, starting at a specified array index
Rules at a Glance
The array can be of any data type that is compatible with the stack elements. Thus, for instance, we cannot use an Integer array to hold stack elements that are strings (that is, Objects whose subtype is String).
The array must be sized to accommodate the elements of the stack prior to calling the CopyTo method.
Example
Public Sub Main ' Define a new stack Dim s As New Stack( ) Dim aStack( ), oItem As Object ' Push some items onto stack s.Push("Chopin") s.Push("Mozart") s.Push("Beethoven") ' Size the array and copy to it Redim aStack(s.Count - 1) s.CopyTo(aStack, 0) For Each oItem in aStack Console.WriteLine(oItem) Next End Sub
