C# Class NUnit.Framework.Internal.TypeHelper

TypeHelper provides static methods that operate on Types.

Public Methods

Method	Description
BestCommonType ( Type type1, Type type2 ) : Type	Returns the best fit for a common type to be used in matching actual arguments to a methods Type parameters.
CanDeduceTypeArgsFromArgs ( Type type, object arglist, Type &typeArgsOut ) : bool	Determines whether this instance can deduce type args for a generic type from the supplied arguments.
ConvertArgumentList ( object arglist, ParameterInfo parameters ) : void	Convert an argument list to the required paramter types. Currently, only widening numeric conversions are performed.
GetDisplayName ( Type type ) : string	Gets the display name for a Type as used by NUnit.
GetDisplayName ( Type type, object arglist ) : string	Gets the display name for a Type as used by NUnit.
GetEnumValues ( Type enumType ) : Array	Gets the values for an enumeration, using Enum.GetTypes where available, otherwise through reflection.
IsNumeric ( Type type ) : bool	Determines whether the specified type is numeric.
MakeGenericType ( Type type, Type typeArgs ) : Type	Creates an instance of a generic Type using the supplied Type arguments

Returns the best fit for a common type to be used in matching actual arguments to a methods Type parameters.

public static BestCommonType ( Type type1, Type type2 ) : Type
type1	System.Type	The first type.
type2	System.Type	The second type.
return	System.Type

Determines whether this instance can deduce type args for a generic type from the supplied arguments.

public static CanDeduceTypeArgsFromArgs ( Type type, object arglist, Type &typeArgsOut ) : bool
type	System.Type	The type to be examined.
arglist	object	The arglist.
typeArgsOut	System.Type	The type args to be used.
return	bool

Convert an argument list to the required paramter types. Currently, only widening numeric conversions are performed.

public static ConvertArgumentList ( object arglist, ParameterInfo parameters ) : void
arglist	object	An array of args to be converted
parameters	System.Reflection.ParameterInfo	A ParamterInfo[] whose types will be used as targets
return	void

Gets the display name for a Type as used by NUnit.

public static GetDisplayName ( Type type ) : string
type	System.Type	The Type for which a display name is needed.
return	string

Gets the display name for a Type as used by NUnit.

public static GetDisplayName ( Type type, object arglist ) : string
type	System.Type	The Type for which a display name is needed.
arglist	object	The arglist provided.
return	string

Gets the values for an enumeration, using Enum.GetTypes where available, otherwise through reflection.

public static GetEnumValues ( Type enumType ) : Array
enumType	System.Type
return	System.Array

Determines whether the specified type is numeric.

public static IsNumeric ( Type type ) : bool
type	System.Type	The type to be examined.
return	bool

Creates an instance of a generic Type using the supplied Type arguments

public static MakeGenericType ( Type type, Type typeArgs ) : Type
type	System.Type	The generic type to be specialized.
typeArgs	System.Type	The type args.
return	System.Type
