Example

The following example demonstrates an error that causes a RankException exception.

C# Example

using System;
public class RankExample {
   public static void Main() {
      int[] oneDAry = new int[5];
      int[,] twoDAry = new int[2,3];
      for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++ ) {
         oneDAry.SetValue( i, i );
      }
      try {
         Array.Copy( oneDAry, twoDAry, 2);
      }
      catch ( RankException e ) {
         Console.WriteLine( "Error caught: {0}", e );
      }
   }
}
   

The output is

Example

Error caught: System.RankException: The specified arrays must have the same number of dimensions.
   at System.Array.Copy(Array sourceArray, Int32 sourceIndex, Array destinationArray, Int32 destinationIndex, Int32 length)
   at System.Array.Copy(Array sourceArray, Array destinationArray, Int32 length)
   at RankExample.Main()
