System Namespace   Array Class

---

Returns the value of the specified element in the current Array.

1. Gets the value at the specified position in the one-dimensional Array.

2. Gets the value at the specified position in the multidimensional Array.

3. Gets the value at the specified position in the two-dimensional Array.

4. Gets the value at the specified position in the three-dimensional Array.

The following code example shows how to use GetValue to get a specific value in the Array.

NOTE: This example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of GetValue. For other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.
