What is the best method to resize 3 dimension array in C#?

[Damien582]

Hi guys, new here. I've used this site for a while researching answers, but this is my first post. I've searched everywhere and I haven't found an answer that works. First, what I am doing: Cubed array (3 dimesions, not jagged) of a custom structure for a game I am making to hold tile information. I can resize a 2 dimensional layer just fine, but upon resizing a 3 dimensional array (via creating new array and using Array.Copy) I could not figure out how to copy the data from the old array to the new one. I prefer not to use List or ArrayList as I am goifn to save the array in a file as a mapfile. Please anyone, some insite, links or anything would be helpful!!!

You could copy the values manually using some nested for loops.
3D arrays are so Foranesque. Why not use a class to represent that structure?

I am using a Class (Editor) to encapsulate the data structure and sizing functions. The array is of a custom structure Tile{int Layer,int x,int y, int Width, int Height,int TextureId}
These are to represent tiles in a multi-layer 2d tile based game. Rather than serialize an object I would prefer to keep the structure as simple as possible to reduce file size when saved.
