.net - jagged arrays <-> multidimensional arrays conversion in ASP.NET

Question

I would like some help to create the following convertions:

A need to convert an 800*600 multidimensional array into a jagged array and then the same method in reverse (jagged array with the same data to the original multidimensional array)

Is this possible? and any help about it?

Answer 1

I realize the question is a bit old but for flexability sake, I modfied the method a bit to calculate the array sizes within the method as opposed to having to pass them in:

    static object[][] convertToJaggedArray(object[,] multiArray)
    {
        int firstElement = multiArray.GetLength(0);
        int secondElement = multiArray.GetLength(1);

        object[][] jaggedArray = new object[firstElement][];

        for (int c = 0; c < firstElement; c++)
        {
            jaggedArray[c] = new object[secondElement];
            for (int r = 0; r < secondElement; r++)
            {
                jaggedArray[c][r] = multiArray[c, r];
            }
        }
        return jaggedArray;
    }
