ArraySegment<T>.Offset Property

Definition

Gets the position of the first element in the range delimited by the array segment, relative to the start of the original array.

public:
 property int Offset { int get(); };
public int Offset { get; }
member this.Offset : int
Public ReadOnly Property Offset As Integer

Property Value

The position of the first element in the range delimited by the ArraySegment<T>, relative to the start of the original array.

Examples

The following code example passes an ArraySegment<T> structure to a method.

using System;

public class SamplesArray  {

   public static void Main()  {

      // Create and initialize a new string array.
      String[] myArr = { "The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog" };

      // Display the initial contents of the array.
      Console.WriteLine( "The original array initially contains:" );
      PrintIndexAndValues( myArr );

      // Define an array segment that contains the entire array.
      ArraySegment<string> myArrSegAll = new ArraySegment<string>( myArr );

      // Display the contents of the ArraySegment.
      Console.WriteLine( "The first array segment (with all the array's elements) contains:" );
      PrintIndexAndValues( myArrSegAll );

      // Define an array segment that contains the middle five values of the array.
      ArraySegment<string> myArrSegMid = new ArraySegment<string>( myArr, 2, 5 );

      // Display the contents of the ArraySegment.
      Console.WriteLine( "The second array segment (with the middle five elements) contains:" );
      PrintIndexAndValues( myArrSegMid );

      // Modify the fourth element of the first array segment myArrSegAll.
      myArrSegAll.Array[3] = "LION";

      // Display the contents of the second array segment myArrSegMid.
      // Note that the value of its second element also changed.
      Console.WriteLine( "After the first array segment is modified, the second array segment now contains:" );
      PrintIndexAndValues( myArrSegMid );
   }

   public static void PrintIndexAndValues( ArraySegment<string> arrSeg )  {
      for ( int i = arrSeg.Offset; i < (arrSeg.Offset + arrSeg.Count); i++ )  {
