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;
}
