C# Array CreateInstance(Type, Int32, Int32, Int32)

Description

Array CreateInstance(Type, Int32, Int32, Int32) creates a three-dimensional Array of the specified Type and dimension lengths, with zero-based indexing.

Syntax

Array.CreateInstance(Type, Int32, Int32, Int32) has the following syntax.

public static Array CreateInstance(
  Type elementType,//from   w  w w  . ja v a 2 s  .  c  o m
  int length1,
  int length2,
  int length3
)

Parameters

Array.CreateInstance(Type, Int32, Int32, Int32) has the following parameters.

• elementType - The Type of the Array to create.
• length1 - The size of the first dimension of the Array to create.
• length2 - The size of the second dimension of the Array to create.
• length3 - The size of the third dimension of the Array to create.

Returns

Array.CreateInstance(Type, Int32, Int32, Int32) method returns A new three-dimensional Array of the specified Type with the specified length for each dimension, using zero-based indexing.

Example

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

//from w  w w  .  ja  va 2s.c  o m


using System;
public class SamplesArray  {

   public static void Main()  {

      Array my3DArray=Array.CreateInstance( typeof(Object), 2, 3, 4 );
      for ( int i = my3DArray.GetLowerBound(0); i <= my3DArray.GetUpperBound(0); i++ )
         for ( int j = my3DArray.GetLowerBound(1); j <= my3DArray.GetUpperBound(1); j++ )
            for ( int k = my3DArray.GetLowerBound(2); k <= my3DArray.GetUpperBound(2); k++ )
               my3DArray.SetValue( "abc", i, j, k );

   }
}

The code above generates the following result.
