GenericTypeParameterBuilder.GetElementType Method
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Throws a NotSupportedException in all cases.
Namespace: System.Reflection.Emit
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overrides Function GetElementType As Type
public override Type GetElementType()
Return Value
Type: System.Type
The type referred to by the current array type, pointer type, or ByRef type; or nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if the current type is not an array type, is not a pointer type, and is not passed by reference.
Remarks
A generic type parameter is a placeholder for a type. Because that type cannot be known in advance, there is no way to know whether it has an element type or what that element type might be. Any return value would be misleading, so the method throws a NotSupportedException.
