Type.MakeGenericType(Type[]) Method

Definition

Substitutes the elements of an array of types for the type parameters of the current generic type definition and returns a Type object representing the resulting constructed type.

public:
 abstract Type ^ MakeGenericType(... cli::array <Type ^> ^ typeArguments);
public:
 virtual Type ^ MakeGenericType(... cli::array <Type ^> ^ typeArguments);
public abstract Type MakeGenericType (params Type[] typeArguments);
public virtual Type MakeGenericType (params Type[] typeArguments);
abstract member MakeGenericType : Type[] -> Type
abstract member MakeGenericType : Type[] -> Type
override this.MakeGenericType : Type[] -> Type
Public MustOverride Function MakeGenericType (ParamArray typeArguments As Type()) As Type
Public Overridable Function MakeGenericType (ParamArray typeArguments As Type()) As Type

Parameters

typeArguments
Type[]

An array of types to be substituted for the type parameters of the current generic type.

Returns

A Type representing the constructed type formed by substituting the elements of typeArguments for the type parameters of the current generic type.

Exceptions

The current type does not represent a generic type definition. That is, IsGenericTypeDefinition returns false.

typeArguments is null.

-or-

Any element of typeArguments is null.

The number of elements in typeArguments is not the same as the number of type parameters in the current generic type definition.

-or-

Any element of typeArguments does not satisfy the constraints specified for the corresponding type parameter of the current generic type.

-or-

typeArguments contains an element that is a pointer type (IsPointer returns true), a by-ref type (IsByRef returns true), or Void.

The invoked method is not supported in the base class. Derived classes must provide an implementation.

Examples

The following example uses the MakeGenericType method to create a constructed type from the generic type definition for the Dictionary<TKey,TValue> type. The constructed type represents a Dictionary<TKey,TValue> of Test objects with string keys.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;
using namespace System::Collections::Generic;
