How to determine if ParameterInfo is of generic type?

I have a MethodInfo of a GenericMethodDefinition. Such as: CallMethod<T>(T arg, string arg2). The GetParameters() method will give me two ParameterInfo objects, the f开发者_Python百科irst of which is generic, the second of which is not. How can I get ParameterInfo to tell me it is generic? What about if it has constraints?

Check ParameterType.IsGenericParameter.
You may also want to check ContainsGenericParameters, which will be true for something like MyMethod<T>(List<T> param). (Even though List<> isn't a generic parameter)

If IsGenericParameter is true, you can also call GetGenericParameterConstraints() to get interface or base type constraints, and you can check GenericParameterAttributes (a [Flags] enum) for new(), struct, or class constraints.

I think you are looking for these:

parameterInfo.ParameterType.ContainsGenericParameters
parameterInfo.ParameterType.GetGenericParameterConstraints()

In additional to others' answer to the second question: Yes we can get the constraints from ParameterInfo using GetGenericParameterConstraints(), but it doesn't work for all circumstances. Consider some generic method like this:

public static void MyMethod<T,V>() where T : Dictionary<int, int>
{
}

There is a constraint for this method, but the method doesn't have parameters(think about Enumerable.Cast). What I'm going to say is the constraint is not part of the parameters, but the method itself. We can get the constraints by:

method.GetGenericArguments()[0].BaseType  //the constraint of T
method.GetGenericArguments()[1].BaseType  //that of V: Object

Maybe here you will find information about reflecting generic parameters ...
