Parameters

value

The new value for the specified element.

index

A 32-bit integer that represents the position of the Array element to set.

Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentException	The current instance has more than one dimension.
IndexOutOfRangeException	index is outside the range of valid indices for the current instance.
InvalidCastException	value is not assignment-compatible with the element type of the current instance.

Remarks

The Array.GetLowerBound(int) and Array.GetUpperBound(int) methods can determine whether the value of index is out of bounds.

For more information about conversions, see Convert.

This method is an O(1) operation.

Note:

If erload:System.Array.SetValue is used to assign null to an element of an array of value types, all fields of the element are initialized to zero. The value of the element is not a null reference, and cannot be found by searching for a null reference.
