Returns an array of Type objects representing the type arguments of a generic type or the type parameters of a generic type definition.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function GetGenericArguments As Type()
public override Type[] GetGenericArguments()

Return Value

Type: array<System.Type[]
An array of objects that represent the type arguments of a generic type or the type parameters of a generic type definition.

Remarks

The elements of the returned array are in the order in which they appear in the list of type parameters for the generic type definition.

A TypeBuilder object represents a generic type definition if the DefineGenericParameters method has been used to give it generic type parameters. This method retrieves the GenericTypeParameterBuilder objects that represent the generic type parameters.
