Public Methods

Method	Description
GetInterface ( this type, Type interfaceType ) : Type	Searches for a particular implementation of the given interface type inside of the type. This is particularly useful if the interface type is an open type, ie, typeof(IFace{}), because this method will then return IFace{} but with appropriate type parameters inserted.
HasParent ( this type, Type parentType ) : bool	Searches for a particular implementation of the given type inside of the type. This is particularly useful if the interface type is an open type, ie, typeof(IFace{}), because this method will then return IFace{} but with appropriate type parameters inserted.
IsImplementationOf ( this type, Type interfaceType ) : bool	Returns true if the baseType is an implementation of the given interface type. The interface type can be generic.
IsNullableType ( this type ) : bool	Returns true if the given type is nullable. This should always return false if the type was fetched via GetType() according to the .NET docs at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms366789.aspx.

Method Details

GetInterface() public static method

Searches for a particular implementation of the given interface type inside of the type. This is particularly useful if the interface type is an open type, ie, typeof(IFace{}), because this method will then return IFace{} but with appropriate type parameters inserted.

public static GetInterface ( this type, Type interfaceType ) : Type
type	this	The base type to search for interface
interfaceType	System.Type	/// The interface type to search for. Can be an open generic type. ///
return	System.Type

HasParent() public static method

Searches for a particular implementation of the given type inside of the type. This is particularly useful if the interface type is an open type, ie, typeof(IFace{}), because this method will then return IFace{} but with appropriate type parameters inserted.

public static HasParent ( this type, Type parentType ) : bool
type	this	The base type to search for interface
parentType	System.Type	/// The interface type to search for. Can be an open generic type. ///
return	bool

IsImplementationOf() public static method

Returns true if the baseType is an implementation of the given interface type. The interface type can be generic.

public static IsImplementationOf ( this type, Type interfaceType ) : bool
type	this	/// The type to search for an implementation of the given interface ///
interfaceType	System.Type	The interface type to search for
return	bool

IsNullableType() public static method

Returns true if the given type is nullable.

This *should* always return false if the type was fetched via GetType() according to the .NET docs at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms366789.aspx.

public static IsNullableType ( this type ) : bool
type	this
return	bool
