ROSLYN.PERFORMANCE.CA1819 : Properties should not return arrays (C#)

See Roslyn-Detected C# Warning Classes for more information.

Summary

Arrays that are returned by properties are not write-protected, even when the property is read-only. To keep the array tamper-proof, the property must return a copy of the array. Typically, users will not understand the adverse performance implications of calling such a property.

This check corresponds to Roslyn rule CA1819. For full rule details, see the Microsoft website: CA1819.
