⊟ IsAssignableTo Method

Determines whether an instance of self can be stored in a reference of a type type.

public static bool IsAssignableTo (this Type self, Type type)

⊟ See Also

Type.IsAssignableFrom(Type)

⊟ Parameters

self

A Type which is used to check that instances of type self can be stored into references of type type.

type

A Type which is the type of the reference to store an instance of type self.

⊟ Returns

true if an instance of type self can be stored into a reference of type type; otherwise, false.

⊟ Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentNullException	self is null.

⊟ Remarks

This is equivalent to type.IsAssignableFrom(self).

C# Example

// Can string be implicitly converted to object? Yes. Assert.IsTrue (typeof(string).IsAssignableTo (typeof (object))); // Can object be implicitly converted to string? No. Assert.IsFalse (typeof(object).IsAssignableTo (typeof (string)));

⊟ Requirements

Namespace: Cadenza
Assembly: Cadenza (in Cadenza.dll)
Assembly Versions: 0.1.0.0

⊟ IsNullable Method

Gets a value indicating whether the type is a nullable type.

public static bool IsNullable (this Type self)

⊟ Parameters

self

A Type containing the type to check.

⊟ Returns

true if self is a Nullable<T> type; otherwise, false.

⊟ Exceptions

Type	Reason
ArgumentNullException	self is null.

⊟ Remarks

self is considered to a nullable type if:

• self is not typeof(Nullable<>).
• self.GetGenericTypeDefinition() is typeof(Nullable<>).

C# Example

Assert.IsTrue (typeof (int?).IsNullable ()); Assert.IsFalse (typeof (int).IsNullable ()); Assert.IsFalse (typeof (string).IsNullable ()); Assert.IsFalse (typeof (Nullable<>).IsNullable ());
