What?s the difference between the System.Array.CopyTo() and System.Array.Clone()?..

Answer / rajesh

The Clone() method returns a new array (a shallow copy)
object containing all the elements in the original array.
The CopyTo() method copies the elements into another
existing array. Both perform a shallow copy. A shallow
copy means the contents (each array element) contains
references to the same object as the elements in the
original array. A deep copy (which neither of these
methods performs) would create a new instance of each
element's object, resulting in a different, yet identacle
object.
