XamlType.LookupItemType Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Xaml

Assembly:

System.Xaml.dll

Returns a value that provides the type information for the Items property of this XamlType.

C#

protected virtual System.Xaml.XamlType LookupItemType();

Returns

XamlType

A XamlType object for the type of the items in the collection; otherwise, null if this XamlType does not represent a collection.

Remarks

This method can be invoked by calls to ItemType.

The default implementation can use CLR reflection concepts, such as checking for an Add method by MethodInfo and using the ParameterInfo; checking IsArray; and checking BaseType and trying the same logic there.

Override this method if you want ItemType to use different logic. Cases where LookupCollectionKind returns XamlCollectionKind.None should return null.
