Copy byte array to another byte array in C# -

there 2 byte arrays populated different values.

byte[] array1 = new byte[5]; byte[] array2 = new byte[5];

then, need array1 same values array2.

by typing array1 = array2 set references, not copy values.

what might solution?

edit:

all answers , solutions work. code first solution looks visually more descriptive particular case.

array1 = array2.toarray();

and

array1.copyto(array2, 0);

buffer.blockcopy(array2, 0, array1, 0, 5);

one solution courtesy of linq...

array1 = array2.toarray();

edit: not need allocate space array1 before using linq call. allocation array1 done within toarray(). more complete example below

byte[] array2 = new byte[5]; // set values array2 byte[] array1 = array2.toarray();
