Type.IsArray Property
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Gets a value indicating whether the Type is an array.
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 System; class Example { public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock) { int[] array = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }; Type at = typeof(Array); Type t = array.GetType(); outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The type is {0}. Is this type an array? {1}", at, at.IsArray) + "\n"; outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The type is {0}. Is this type an array? {1}", t, t.IsArray) + "\n"; } }
This code produces the following output:
Type is System.Array. IsArray? False Type is System.Int32[]. IsArray? True
