C# Cast Entire Array?
The proposed LINQ solution using Cast/'Select' is fine, but since you know you are working with an array here, using ConvertAll is rather more efficienct, and just as simple.
var newArray = Array.ConvertAll(array, item => (NewType)item);Using ConvertAll means
a) the array is only iterated over once,
b) the operation is more optimised for arrays (does not use IEnumerator<T>).
Don't let the Converter<TInput, TOutput> type confuse you - it is just a simple delegate, and thus you can pass a lambda expression for it, as shown above.
Cast doesn't consider user defined implicit conversions so you can't cast the array like that. You can use select instead:
myArray.Select(p => (Vec2)p).ToArray();Or write a converter:
Array.ConvertAll(points, (p => (Vec2)p));The latter is probably more efficient as the size of the result is known in advance.
