## PeterO.ArrayWriter

public sealed class ArrayWriter :
    PeterO.IByteWriter,
    PeterO.IWriter

An array of bytes that grows as needed.

[Clear()](#Clear) - Offers a fast way to reset the length of the array writer’s data to 0.
[ToArray()](#ToArray) - Generates an array of all bytes written so far to it.
[Write(byte[], int, int)](#Write_byte_int_int) - Writes a series of bytes to the array.
[WriteByte(int)](#WriteByte_int) - Writes an 8-bit byte to the array.

### ArrayWriter Constructor

public ArrayWriter(
    int initialSize);

Initializes a new instance of the PeterO.ArrayWriter class.

Parameters:

### ArrayWriter Constructor

public ArrayWriter();

Initializes a new instance of the PeterO.ArrayWriter class with a default backing store size of 16.

### Clear

public void Clear();

Offers a fast way to reset the length of the array writer’s data to 0.

### ToArray

public byte[] ToArray();

Generates an array of all bytes written so far to it.

Return Value:

A byte array.

### Write

public sealed void Write(
    byte[] src,
    int offset,
    int length);

Writes a series of bytes to the array.

Parameters:

src: Byte array containing the data to write.
offset: An index starting at 0 showing where the desired portion of src begins.
length: The number of elements in the desired portion of src (but not more than src ‘s length).

Exceptions:

System.ArgumentNullException: The parameter src is null.
System.ArgumentException: Either offset or length is less than 0 or greater than src ‘s length, or src ‘s length minus offset is less than length .

### WriteByte

public sealed void WriteByte(
    int byteValue);

Writes an 8-bit byte to the array.

Parameters:

byteValue: An integer containing the byte to write. Only the lower 8 bits of this value will be used.
