ParameterInfo.IsOptional Property

Definition

Gets a value indicating whether this parameter is optional.

public:
 property bool IsOptional { bool get(); };
public bool IsOptional { get; }
member this.IsOptional : bool
Public ReadOnly Property IsOptional As Boolean

Property Value

true if the parameter is optional; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following example shows how to test method parameters for the ParameterAttributes.In, ParameterAttributes.Out, and ParameterAttributes.Optional attributes.

The example contains a DefineMethod method that does the following:

After executing DefineMethod, the example searches the assemblies that are currently loaded until it finds the dynamic assembly. It loads MyType from the assembly, gets a MethodInfo object for the MyMethod method, and examines the parameters. The example uses the IsIn, IsOut, and IsOptional properties to display information about the parameters.

Remarks

This method depends on an optional metadata flag. This flag can be inserted by compilers, but the compilers are not obligated to do so.

This method utilizes the Optional flag of the ParameterAttributes enumerator.

To get the ParameterInfo array, first get the method and then call MethodBase.GetParameters.
