Type.GetInterfaces Method

public abstract Type[] GetInterfaces()

Implements

The GetInterfaces method does not return interfaces in a particular order, such as alphabetical or declaration order. Your code must not depend on the order in which interfaces are returned, because that order varies.

If the current Type represents a constructed generic type, this method returns the Type objects with the type parameters replaced by the appropriate type arguments.

If the current Type represents a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method, this method searches the interface constraints and any interfaces inherited from class or interface constraints.

The following example gets the type of the specified class and displays all the interfaces that the type implements or inherits. To compile the Visual Basic example, use the following compiler commands:

vbc type_getinterfaces1.vb /r:System.Web.dll /r:System.dll

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Example
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("\r\nInterfaces implemented by Dictionary<int, string>:\r\n");

        foreach (Type tinterface in typeof(Dictionary<int, string>).GetInterfaces())
        {
            Console.WriteLine(tinterface.ToString());
        }

        //Console.ReadLine()      // Uncomment this line for Visual Studio. 
    }
}

/* This example produces output similar to the following:

Interfaces implemented by Dictionary<int, string>:

System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary`2[System.Int32,System.String]
System.Collections.Generic.ICollection`1[System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair`2[System.Int32,System.String]]
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair`2[System.Int32,System.String]]
System.Collection.IEnumerable
System.Collection.IDictionary
System.Collection.ICollection
System.Runtime.Serialization.ISerializable
System.Runtime.Serialization.IDeserializationCallback
