Type.IsByRef Property

Definition

Gets a value indicating whether the Type is passed by reference.

public virtual bool IsByRef { get; }
public bool IsByRef { get; }

Property Value

true if the Type is passed by reference; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following example demonstrates a use of the IsByRef property to check whether a specified type is passed by reference. The example defines the class MyTypeDelegator, which overrides the HasElementTypeImpl method. The main class checks for the HasElementType property and displays the element type.

using System;
using System.Reflection;
public class MyTypeDelegator : TypeDelegator
{
    public string myElementType = null;
    private Type myType = null ;
    public MyTypeDelegator(Type myType) : base(myType)
    {
        this.myType = myType;
    }
    // Override Type.HasElementTypeImpl().
    protected override bool HasElementTypeImpl()
    {
        // Determine whether the type is an array.
        if(myType.IsArray)
        {
            myElementType = "array";
            return true;
        }
        // Determine whether the type is a reference.
        if(myType.IsByRef)
        {
            myElementType = "reference";
            return true;
        }
        // Determine whether the type is a pointer.
        if(myType.IsPointer)
        {
            myElementType = "pointer";
            return true;
        }
        // Return false if the type is not a reference, array, or pointer type.
        return false;
    }
}
public class Type_HasElementTypeImpl
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            int myInt = 0 ;
            int[] myArray = new int[5];
            MyTypeDelegator myType = new MyTypeDelegator(myArray.GetType());
            // Determine whether myType is an array, pointer, reference type.
            Console.WriteLine("\nDetermine whether a variable is an array, pointer, or reference type.\n");
            if( myType.HasElementType)
                Console.WriteLine("The type of myArray is {0}.", myType.myElementType);
            else
                Console.WriteLine("myArray is not an array, pointer, or reference type.");
            myType = new MyTypeDelegator(myInt.GetType());
            // Determine whether myType is an array, pointer, reference type.
            if( myType.HasElementType)
                Console.WriteLine("The type of myInt is {0}.", myType.myElementType);
            else
                Console.WriteLine("myInt is not an array, pointer, or reference type.");
        }
        catch( Exception e )
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Exception: {0}", e.Message);
        }
    }
}

Remarks

To get to the actual type, dereference the type that was passed by reference, and then call GetElementType on that type.
