Copies the elements of this collection to the specified array, starting at the specified array index.

public void CopyTo(ExtendedAttribute[] array, int arrayIndex)

Parameter	Type	Description
array	ExtendedAttribute[]	the specified one-dimensional array to copy elements to
arrayIndex	Int32	the zero-based index of the specified array at which copying begins.

Examples

Shows how to use extended attribute collections.

var project = new Project(DataDir + "ReadTaskExtendedAttributes.mpp");

// Get zero index task
var task = project.RootTask.Children.GetById(1);

if (!task.ExtendedAttributes.IsReadOnly && task.ExtendedAttributes.Count > 0)
{
    // clear extended attributes
    task.ExtendedAttributes.Clear();
}

// create extended attribute definition for a task
var taskDefinition1 = ExtendedAttributeDefinition.CreateTaskDefinition(CustomFieldType.Start, ExtendedAttributeTask.Start7, "Start 7");
var taskDefinition2 = ExtendedAttributeDefinition.CreateTaskDefinition(CustomFieldType.Finish, ExtendedAttributeTask.Finish7, "Finish 7");
project.ExtendedAttributes.Add(taskDefinition1);
project.ExtendedAttributes.Add(taskDefinition2);

Console.WriteLine("Iterate over task extended attributes of " + task.Get(Tsk.Name) + " task: ");
foreach (var attribute in task.ExtendedAttributes)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Attribute FieldId: " + attribute.FieldId);
    Console.WriteLine("Attribute Value: " + attribute.DateValue);
    Console.WriteLine();
}

// Add extended attribute 1
var extendedAttribute1 = taskDefinition1.CreateExtendedAttribute();

if (task.ExtendedAttributes.IndexOf(extendedAttribute1) < 0)
{
    task.ExtendedAttributes.Insert(0, extendedAttribute1);
}

// Add extended attribute 2
var extendedAttribute2 = taskDefinition2.CreateExtendedAttribute();
extendedAttribute2.DateValue = new DateTime(2020, 4, 14, 17, 0, 0);
task.ExtendedAttributes.Add(extendedAttribute2);

// work with extended attributes...

// remove extended attribute by index
task.ExtendedAttributes.RemoveAt(0);

Console.WriteLine("Count of task's extended attributes: " + task.ExtendedAttributes.Count);

// use collection index access

    Console.WriteLine();
}

// remove all extended attribute definitions
while (otherTask.ExtendedAttributes.Count > 0)
