Type.IsArray Property
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The IsArray property returns false for the Array class.
To check for an array, use code such as typeof(Array).IsAssignableFrom(type).
If the current Type represents a generic type, or a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method, this property always returns false.
This property is read-only.
The following example demonstrates using the IsArray property.
using namespace System; int main() { array<Int32>^array = {1,2,3,4}; Type^ at = Array::typeid; Type^ t = array->GetType(); Console::WriteLine( "The type is {0}. Is this type an array? {1}", at, at->IsArray.ToString() ); Console::WriteLine( "The type is {0}. Is this type an array? {1}", t, t->IsArray.ToString() ); }
import System.*;
class TestIsArray
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int array[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
Type at = Array.class.ToType();
Type t = array.GetType();
Console.WriteLine("The type is {0}. Is this type an array? {1}",
System.Convert.ToString(at),
System.Convert.ToString(at.get_IsArray()));
Console.WriteLine("The type is {0}. Is this type an array? {1}",
System.Convert.ToString(t),
System.Convert.ToString(t.get_IsArray()));
} //main
} //TestIsArray
This code produces the following output:
Type is System.Array. IsArray? False Type is System.Int32[]. IsArray? True
