Public Methods

Method	Description
CanConvertTo ( Type type ) : bool	Determines whether this instance can be converted to the specified type. Unlike the built in cast system, this returns true if a cast is possible AND if IConvertible can be used.
CloseType ( ) : ExtendedType	Closes the type if it is generic and has generic parameters, or creates equivalent type.
DescendsFrom ( [ baseType ) : bool	Checks to see if a type descends from another type.
ExtendedType ( [ type ) : System	Initializes a new instance of the ExtendedType class.
FindType ( [ typeName, bool throwOnError = false, bool ignoreCase = false ) : Type	Finds the type with the specified typeName. This is more robust than using Type.GetType(string,bool,bool) as it supports partial assembly names.
GetConstructor ( ) : Constructor	Gets the constructor.
GetConstructor ( [ constructorInfo, bool includeBase = true ) : Constructor	Gets the Constructor matching the ConstructorInfo (if any).
GetConstructor ( bool includeBase ) : Constructor	Gets the constructor.
GetConstructor ( bool &castsRequired, bool includeBase ) : Constructor	Gets the constructor.
GetEvent ( [ name, bool includeBase = true ) : Event	Gets the event.
GetField ( [ name, bool includeBase = true ) : Field	Gets the field.
GetIndexer ( ) : Indexer	Gets the indexer from the type (or base types).

Implements ( [ interfaceType ) : bool	Checks to see if this type implements a particular interface.
ImplementsCastFrom ( [ fromType, bool implicitOnly = true ) : bool	Whether this type implements a cast from the specified type.
ImplementsCastTo ( [ toType, bool implicitOnly = true ) : bool	Whether this type implements a cast to the specified type.
TryConvert ( [ expression, [ outputExpression ) : bool	Converts the specified expression to the output type. This version is more powerful than the Expression.Convert CLR method in that it supports ToString() conversion, IConvertible and TypeConverters. It also prevents exceptions being thrown.
