Determines whether the current type can be assigned to a variable of the specified targetType
.

Public Function IsAssignableTo (targetType As Type) As Boolean
Parameters
- targetType
- Type
The type to compare with the current type.
Returns
true
if any of the following conditions is true:
The current instance and
targetType
represent the same type.The current type is derived either directly or indirectly from
targetType
. The current type is derived directly fromtargetType
if it inherits fromtargetType
; the current type is derived indirectly fromtargetType
if it inherits from a succession of one or more classes that inherit fromtargetType
.targetType
is an interface that the current type implements.The current type is a generic type parameter, and
targetType
represents one of the constraints of the current type.The current type represents a value type, and
targetType
representsNullable<c>
(Nullable(Of c)
in Visual Basic).
false
if none of these conditions are true, or if targetType
is null
.
