System Namespace   Array Class

---

Sets a range of elements in the Array to zero, to false, or to a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic ) , depending on the element type.

[ VB ]
<Serializable>
Public Shared Sub Clear ( _
   ByVal array As Array, _
   ByVal index As Integer, _
   ByVal length As Integer _
)

[ C# ]
[Serializable]
public static void Clear (
   Array array,
   int index,
   int length
);

[ C++ ]
[Serializable]
public: static void Clear (
   Array* array,
   int index,
   int length
);

[JScript ]
public Serializable
static function Clear (
   array : Array,
   index : int,
   length : int
);

array

The Array whose elements need to be cleared.

index

The starting index of the range of elements to clear.

length

The number of elements to clear.

Exception Type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	array is a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic ).
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	index is less than zero. -or- length is less than zero. -or- The sum of index and length is greater than the size of the Array.

Reference-type elements are set to a null reference ( Nothing in Visual Basic ). Boolean-type elements are set to false. Other value-type elements are set to zero.

This method only clears the values of the elements; it does not delete the elements themselves. An Array has a fixed size; therefore, elements cannot be added or removed.
