<h5 id="C1_Win_C1Chart_ChartDataArray_CopyDataOut_remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>
Although the returned array is an object, the underlying data type will be an
array of type Single, Double, Integer, Int16, Int64, Decimal or DateTime (VB)
or float, double, int, Int16, Int64, decimal or DateTime (C#).
When PointData is managed by the ChartDataArray, an array PointF objects may also be returned.
</p>
In Visual Basic, it is not necessary to explicitly cast the returned value.
The strong typing of C# however, requires an explicit cast.
<p>
Note that all values are stored as a Double(VB) or double(C#) data type internally.
Data conversions are performed automatically and as appropriate for the default data type.
