Resizing

Reducing Array Size

This can only be used when you have a one dimensional array.

char[ ] myarray = new char[4]; 
myarray[0] = 'a';  
myarray[1] = 'b';  
myarray[2] = 'c';  
myarray[3] = 'd';  
System.Array.Resize(ref myarray, 2); 

string[] myArray; 
System.Array.Resize(ref myArray, myArray.Length + 2); 

Increasing Array Size

This can only be used when you have a one dimensional array.

char[ ] myarray = new char[2]; 
myarray[0] = 'a';  
myarray[1] = 'b';  
System.Array.Resize<char>(ref myarray, 4); 
myarray[2] = 'c';  
myarray[3] = 'd';  

Resizing and Preserving

int[2] myarray; 
int[ ] temp = new int[4]; 
myarray[0] = 'a';  
myarray[1] = 'b';  
System.Array.Copy(myarray, temp, myarray.Length); 
myarray = temp
