How to do memcpy for Byte[]?

[EOS]

I guess what I want to do is best explain via the codes here;

Byte[] byteA = new Byte[100000];
Byte[] byteB = new Byte[4];
....
....
....

Now I want to copy 4 bytes from certain portion of the byteA array.

In C/C++, this is what we do;

memcpy(byteB, byteA[X], 4);

Or

memcpy(byteB, byteA+X, 4);

But with C#, I had been stuck for a while with no luck....

Hope you understand what I wanted and could show me the way.

Thanks for your time. Sometime I wish Microsoft could create C# to be nearer
to C/C++. C# is still driving me headache...

You can either use one of the overloads of the Array.Copy method, or
Buffer.BlockCopy. MSDN online has all the details and method signatures plus
sample code.

When looking for a method in .Net, first think about what type you
are dealing with. Then look at that type's methods to see if it has
the functionality you desire.

In your case, you are dealing with the System.Array type. It has a
static Copy method that will do what you want:

System.Array.Copy(byteA, 0, byteB, 0, 4);

Hope this helps.

Please see my response in the framework group. Multi-posting questions
is a bad idea in general - it wastes people's time, as people will
respond in one group without seeing that you've already got an anser in
another group.

In .NET 2.0 Buffer.BlockCopy is implemented in with the help of unsafe
functions the source looks like classical memcpy :8-)

Excuss me, what's wrong with clasical memcpy? I had been using it for my
whole life for C/C++ development and I love it and miss it now C# : (
