Merged Array in Windows Store App

Introduction

In this article I explain how to merge two arrays into a single array. To implement this I created two separate arrays with a different size that contains the array elements according to their size and finally another array which with a size equivalent to the first array plus the second array which contains the elements of both the first and second array.

Use the following procedure to create it.

Step 1

First of all you must create a new Windows Store Application.

Open Visual Studio 2012

"File" -> "New" -> "Project..."

Choose "Template" -> "Visual C#" -> "Window Store app"

Choose "Blank App (XAML)" then rename the application

Step 2

Write the following XAML code in "Mainpage.Xaml" (that is available in Solution Explorer):

<Page

x:Class="merge_two_array.MainPage"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:local="using:merge_two_array"

xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

mc:Ignorable="d">

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<Button.RenderTransform>

</Button.RenderTransform>

</Button>

</Grid>

</Page>

Step 3

Now write the following C# code for the button within "Mainpage.Xaml.cs".

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.IO;

using System.Linq;

using Windows.Foundation;

using Windows.Foundation.Collections;

using Windows.UI.Xaml;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Data;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Input;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Media;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Navigation;

namespace merge_two_array

{

public sealed partial class MainPage : Page

{

public MainPage()

{

this.InitializeComponent();

}

protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)

{

}

int[] arr1 = new int[5];

int[] arr2 = new int[6];

int i = 0, j=0;

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

if (textbox1 .Text .Length >0)

{

if (i < arr1.Length)

{

arr1[i] = int.Parse(textbox1.Text);

i++;

textbox1.Text = " ";

}

else

{

text1.Text = "Sorry array contain only 5 element";

}

private void button2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

if (textbox2.Text.Length > 0)

{

if (j < arr2.Length)

{

arr2[j] = int.Parse(textbox2.Text);

j++;

textbox2.Text = " ";

}

else

{

text2.Text = "Sorry array contain only 6 element";

}

private void button3_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

int[] arr3 = new int[arr1.Length + arr2.Length];

Array.Copy(arr1,0, arr3, 0,arr1.Length);

Array.Copy(arr2,0, arr3,arr1.Length,arr2 .Length);

foreach (int a in arr3)

{

text3.Text += a + " ";

}

Step 4

Now Run your app.
