C# quickest way to shift array

Question

How can I quickly shift all the items in an array one to the left, padding the end with null?

For example, [0,1,2,3,4,5,6] would become [1,2,3,4,5,6,null]

You can use the same array as source and destination for fast in-place copy:

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int[] array = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7};
            Array.ConstrainedCopy(array, 1, array, 0, array.Length - 1);
            array[array.Length - 1] = 0;
        }
