IsEnum Property

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

Gets a value indicating whether the current Type represents an enumeration.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property IsEnum As Boolean
public bool IsEnum { get; }
public:
property bool IsEnum {
    bool get ();
}
member IsEnum : bool with get
function get IsEnum () : boolean

Property Value

Type: System. . :: . .Boolean
true if the current Type represents an enumeration; otherwise, false.

Remarks

This property returns true for an enumeration, but not for the Enum type itself.

If the current Type represents a constructed generic type, this property applies to the generic type definition from which the type was constructed. For example, if the current Type represents MyGenericType<int> (MyGenericType(Of Integer) in Visual Basic), the value of this property is determined by MyGenericType<T>.

If the current Type represents a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method, this property always returns false.
