using System;

namespace Samples
{
  public class RankExceptionSample
  {
    public static void Main()
    {
      try
      {
        Array a = Array.CreateInstance(
                          typeof(int), 5);
        Array b = Array.CreateInstance(
                          typeof(int), 5, 5);
        Array.Copy(a, b, 5);
      }
      catch(RankException e)
      {
        Console.WriteLine("Exception: {0}" , e);
      }
    }
  }
}
The output is
Exception: System.RankException: The specified arrays must have the same number of 
dimensions.
