This class is intended to be used as a base class by language implementations that support arrays. Only the system can derive from this type: derived classes of System.Array are not to be created by the developer.

[Note: An array is a collection of identically typed data elements that are accessed and referenced by sets of integral indices. The rank of an array is the number of dimensions in the array. Each dimension has its own set of indices. An array with a rank greater than one can have a different lower bound and a different number of elements for each dimension. Multidimensional arrays (i.e., arrays with a rank greater than one) are processed in row-major order. The lower bound of a dimension is the starting index of that dimension. ...
