namespace Appeon.ApiDoc.IDataStoreExamples
{
    public class CopyToExample
    {
        private SchoolContext _context;

        public CopyToExample(SchoolContext dataContext)
        {
            // Sets the data context
            _context = dataContext;
        }

        public void Example()
        {
            // Instantiates a DataStore object with datawindow: d_department.
            var datastore = new DataStore("d_department", _context);

            // This datastore has 4 records
            datastore.Retrieve();

            D_Department[] departments = new D_Department[5];

            // Creates a D_Department object and populates it with data.
            var department = new D_Department();
            department.Departmentid = 20;
            department.Name = "New Department";
            department.Budget = 20;
            department.Startdate = DateTime.Now;
            department.Administrator = 2;

            // Sets the first element of the departments array.
            departments[0] = department;

            // Copies 4 records to the departments array. 
            // It starts at the index 1 of the array, so the first element (index = 0) 
            // in the departments array will not be affected.
            datastore.CopyTo(departments, 1);
           
            foreach( var d in departments)
            { 
                Console.WriteLine("Department Name: {0}", d.Name);
            }

            /*This code produces the following output:
