Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Gets a value that indicates whether the current MethodBuilder object represents the definition of a generic method.
Namespace: System.Reflection.Emit
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property IsGenericMethodDefinition As Boolean
public override bool IsGenericMethodDefinition { get; }
Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the current MethodBuilder object represents the definition of a generic method; otherwise, false.
Remarks
A MethodBuilder can only be used to create generic method definitions; it cannot be used to create a constructed generic method directly. However, a subclass of MethodBuilder might represent a constructed generic method.
Examples
The following example displays the status of a method. This code is part of a larger example provided for the DefineGenericParameters method.
' Use the IsGenericMethod property to find out if a
' dynamic method is generic, and IsGenericMethodDefinition
' to find out if it defines a generic method.
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("Is DemoMethod generic? {0}", _
demoMethod.IsGenericMethod) & vbCrLf
outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("Is DemoMethod a generic method definition? {0}", _
demoMethod.IsGenericMethodDefinition) & vbCrLf
// Use the IsGenericMethod property to find out if a
// dynamic method is generic, and IsGenericMethodDefinition
// to find out if it defines a generic method.
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Is DemoMethod generic? {0}",
demoMethod.IsGenericMethod) + "\n";
outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Is DemoMethod a generic method definition? {0}",
demoMethod.IsGenericMethodDefinition) + "\n";
