C# 3 dimensional array

Question

I want to store ARRAY from 3 dimensional array into buildingCostIds, but it says I MUST have 3rd number.

public static int[, ,] buildingCost = { {{0,1,2},{5,5,5}}};

public static void addBuilding(int[] ids, int[] amounts, int buildingId)
{
    int[] buildingCostIds = buildingCost[buildingId, 0, *];
}

*I need third number here, but I don't want it because it will extract just number, I want whole array!

PROBLEM SOLVED, solution:

public static Array extractArray(int dim1, int dim2)
{
    int[] tempArray = { };

    for (int number=0;number<=2; number++)
    {
    tempArray[number] = buildingCost[dim1, dim2, number];
    }
    return tempArray;
}

If you have found a solution, please mark the appropriate answer as accepted (even if that means adding an answer with your solution yourself and marking it as accepted [possibly after waiting for a while](http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/17845/etiquette-for-answering-your-own-question). — O.

This might be simpler if you use an array-of-arrays, or jagged array [][][] like

int[][][] buildingCost = new int[2][][];

Then you can access buildingCost[buildingId, 0] which is an array of ints.

There is a related question here

EDIT

Be aware the "problem solved" you added to the question duplicates the data, so you may run out of memory if you keep doing this. Consider using a List of Lists of Lists and lazy evaluating what you need.

No, I have much data and I'm lazy to write all them down like that. Found a solution! I'll post it! – matijakevic Jul 27 '13 at 09:27

Try This

int[, ,] array3D = new int[3,3,3]

How does this help to access the last column? – doctorlove Jul 27 '13 at 09:32
lol Stack Overflow rendered it as the `try` and `this` keywords – Max Voisard May 10 '19 at 05:49
