Aspose::Words::NodeCollection::ToArray method

NodeCollection::ToArray method

Copies all nodes from the collection to a new array of nodes.

System::ArrayPtr<System::SharedPtr<Aspose::Words::Node>> Aspose::Words::NodeCollection::ToArray()

ReturnValue

An array of nodes.

Remarks

You should not be adding/removing nodes while iterating over a collection of nodes because it invalidates the iterator and requires refreshes for live collections.

To be able to add/remove nodes during iteration, use this method to copy nodes into a fixed-size array and then iterate over the array.

Examples

Shows how to replace all textbox shapes with image shapes.
