The ```Queue<T>``` generic class in the ```System.Collections.Generic``` namespace provides the **```CopyTo()``` method**, which can be used to copy a queue to an existing array at a specified index in C#.

# Syntax
```
public void CopyTo (T[] array, int arrayIndex);
```
This method takes as input a one-dimensional array where the elements will be copied from ```Queue<T>```, and an index at which the copying begins.

This method throws an exception if:
- The input array is null.
- The input index is less than zero.
- The number of elements in `Queue<T>` is greater than the total number of spaces available in the destination array from the specified index to the end of the array.

# Things to note
- This method works on one-dimensional arrays.

- This operation does not change the state of the queue.

- The elements are ordered in the array in the same way as the order of the elements from the start of the queue to the end.

- This is an $O(n)$ operation, where n is the count of the elements in the queue.


# Code
In this example, we create a queue of strings to store month names, and add the names of four months to it: March, April, May and June. After we add the elements, we print all the elements present in the queue.

After this, we create a new array of ```queueCopy``` strings with a size of ten elements that has two elements in it: January and February.
We now copy all the queue elements to this array with the ```CopyTo()``` method, starting from index two.

```months.CopyTo(queueCopy,2);```

We then print the elements of the array, and the array contains the queue elements in the same order from the specified index.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

class QueueConverter
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Queue<string> months = new Queue<string>();
        months.Enqueue("March");
        months.Enqueue("April");
        months.Enqueue("May");
        months.Enqueue("June");

        Console.WriteLine("Queue Items : {0}", string.Join(",", months.ToArray()));
        string[] queueCopy = new string[10];
        queueCopy[0] = "January";
        queueCopy[1] = "February";
        Console.WriteLine("Array Items before Copy : {0}", string.Join(",", queueCopy));
        months.CopyTo(queueCopy,2);
        Console.WriteLine("Array Items after Copy : {0}", string.Join(",", queueCopy));


    }
}
