Behavior

When the DataSource parameter is omitted the DumpToArray method makes a copy of all data stored in the current instance. If the user specified a data source, its data is copied and returned in the OutPutArray parameter.

⚠️Caution

The data is always returned in a Two-dimensional array, even when the imported file only contain a field per record.
