    Contract and Append to arrays

    One of my favorite programming languages, D, has two operators to easily contract or append to arrays (all types of arrays, not just "char[]", as in the example below):

    Code:
    // contract
    char[] array1 = "Hello, ";
    char[] array2 = "world!";
    char[] array3 = array1 ~ array2;
    
    // append
    char[] array4 = "Hey, ";
    array4 ~= array2;
    I want to know if C# has some operator or function that can do either of these.

    No, there's not.

    Writing a function to do that is pretty easy though...
    Code:
            private object[] combinearrays(object[] array1, object[] array2)
            {
                object[] array3 = new object[array1.Length + array2.Length];
                array1.CopyTo(array3, 0);
                array2.CopyTo(array3, array1.Length);
                return array3;
            }

    Where's the MS suggestion box? lol

    Thx for the code, but it's not working:

    Code:
    private byte[] combinebytes(byte[] array1, byte[] array2)
    {
    	byte[] array3 = new byte[array1.LongLength + array2.LongLength + 1];
    	// gives "Destination array not long enough" error
    	array3.CopyTo(array1, 0);
    	array3.CopyTo(array2, array1.LongLength);
    	return array3;
    }
