How to quickly zero out an array?

Question

I am currently doing it in a for loop, and I know in C there is the ZeroMemory API, however that doesn\'t seem to be available in C#. Nor does the somewhat equivalent Array.

Answer 1

Calling the method by using dll import.Its fast and easy to use :)

 [DllImport("msvcrt.dll", EntryPoint = "memset", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl, SetLastError = false)]
 public static extern IntPtr MemSet(IntPtr dest, int c, int byteCount);

c is the value you want to set in the memory

OR

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", EntryPoint="RtlZeroMemory")]
public unsafe static extern bool ZeroMemory(byte* destination, int length);

this only sets the given array to zero
