TypeBuilder.IsGenericType Property

.NET Framework 4.5

Gets a value indicating whether the current type is a generic type.

Namespace: System.Reflection.Emit
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public override bool IsGenericType { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the type represented by the current TypeBuilder object is generic; otherwise, false.

Remarks

A TypeBuilder object represents a generic type definition if the DefineGenericParameters method has been used to give it generic type parameters. An instance of the TypeBuilder class that is generic is always a generic type definition.

For more information on generic types in reflection and a list of the invariant conditions for terms used in generic reflection, see the Type.IsGenericType property.
