I'm looking for a answer to what the Array.Clear(...) method does under the covers in C#.
I've looked at the IL, but that isn't really yielding any clues, since it simply calls the System.Array::Clear(...) method in mscorlib, which then calls an unmanaged portion of the CLR that I can't observe.
The reason why I am asking this, is that I am occasionally getting an SEHException thrown by my call to Array.Clear, and I can't seem to figure out why it is happening.
Unfortunately, Microsoft seems to be a little tight-lipped about what it might mean when the exception is thrown...

Any SEH exception that is not automatically mapped to a specific exception is mapped to the SEHException class by default. For more information, search on "unmanaged exceptions" and "Structured Exception Handling" in the MSDN Library.
