Type.GenericParameterAttributes Property
Definition
Important
Some information relates to prerelease product that may be substantially modified before it’s released. Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.
Gets a combination of GenericParameterAttributes flags that describe the covariance and special constraints of the current generic type parameter.
public:
virtual property System::Reflection::GenericParameterAttributes GenericParameterAttributes { System::Reflection::GenericParameterAttributes get(); };public virtual System.Reflection.GenericParameterAttributes GenericParameterAttributes { get; }member this.GenericParameterAttributes : System.Reflection.GenericParameterAttributesPublic Overridable ReadOnly Property GenericParameterAttributes As GenericParameterAttributesProperty Value
A bitwise combination of GenericParameterAttributes values that describes the covariance and special constraints of the current generic type parameter.
Exceptions
The current Type object is not a generic type parameter. That is, the IsGenericParameter property returns false.
The invoked method is not supported in the base class.
Examples
The following code example defines a generic type Test with two type parameters that have different constraints. When the program executes, the constraints are examined using the GenericParameterAttributes property and the GetGenericParameterConstraints method.
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Reflection;
// Define a sample interface to use as an interface constraint.
interface class ITest{};
// Define a base type to use as a class constraint.
public ref class Base{};
// Define the generic type to examine. The first generic type parameter,
// T, derives from the class Base and implements ITest. This demonstrates
// a base class constraint and an interface constraint. In the .NET
// Framework version 2.0, C++ has no way of expressing special constraints.
// See the C# example code.
//
generic <typename T, typename U>
where T : Base, ITest
ref class Test {};
// Define a type that derives from Base and implements interface
// ITest. This type satisfies the constraint on T in class Test.

Remarks
The value of this property contains flags that describe whether the current generic type parameter is covariant, and flags that describe any special constraints. Use the GenericParameterAttributes.VarianceMask value to select the covariance flags, and use the GenericParameterAttributes.SpecialConstraintMask value to select the constraint flags.
For a list of the invariant conditions for terms used in generic reflection, see the IsGenericType property remarks.
