Methods

GetDefault(Type)

Retrieves the default value for a given type.

[UnconditionalSuppressMessage("Trimming", "IL2067", Justification = "Only value types reach Activator.CreateInstance. Value types always have a default value and need no constructor.")]
public static object? GetDefault(this Type type)

Parameters

type Type

The type for which to retrieve the default value.

Returns

object

The default value of the specified type, or null if not applicable.

GetExtensionMethod(Type, IEnumerable<Assembly>, string)

Gets a specific extension method for the specified type from a collection of assemblies.

[RequiresUnreferencedCode("Scans assembly types with reflection. Types and methods may be removed by trimming.")]
public static MethodInfo? GetExtensionMethod(this Type type, IEnumerable<Assembly> assemblies, string name)

Parameters

type Type

The type to get the extension method for.

assemblies IEnumerable<Assembly>

The collection of assemblies containing extension methods.

name string

The name of the extension method.

Returns

MethodInfo

The MethodInfo of the specified extension method, or null if not found.

GetExtensionMethod(Type, Assembly, string)

Gets a specific extension method for the specified type from a given assembly.

[RequiresUnreferencedCode("Scans assembly types with reflection. Types and methods may be removed by trimming.")]
public static MethodInfo? GetExtensionMethod(this Type type, Assembly extensionsAssembly, string name)

Parameters

type Type

The type to get the extension method for.

extensionsAssembly Assembly

The assembly containing extension methods.

name string

The name of the extension method.

Returns

MethodInfo

The MethodInfo of the specified extension method, or null if not found.

GetExtensionMethod(Type, Assembly, string, Type[])

Gets a specific extension method with the given name and parameter types for the specified type from an assembly.

[RequiresUnreferencedCode("Scans assembly types with reflection. Types and methods may be removed by trimming.")]
public static MethodInfo? GetExtensionMethod(this Type type, Assembly extensionsAssembly, string name, Type[] types)

Parameters

type Type

The type to get the extension method for.

extensionsAssembly Assembly

The assembly containing extension methods.

name string

The name of the extension method.

types Type[]

An array of parameter types for the extension method.

Returns

MethodInfo

The MethodInfo of the specified extension method, or null if not found.

GetExtensionMethods(Type, Assembly, BindingFlags)

Gets extension methods for the specified type from a given assembly.

[RequiresUnreferencedCode("Scans assembly types with reflection. Types and methods may be removed by trimming.")]
public static IEnumerable<MethodInfo> GetExtensionMethods(this Type type, Assembly extensionsAssembly, BindingFlags bindingFlags = BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public)

Parameters

type Type

The type to get extension methods for.

extensionsAssembly Assembly

The assembly containing extension methods.

bindingFlags BindingFlags

Binding flags to control the method visibility.

Returns

IEnumerable<MethodInfo>

An enumerable collection of extension methods for the specified type.

GetRealType(Type)

Gets the concrete implementation type for a given interface or abstract type.

[RequiresUnreferencedCode("Scans exported types with reflection. Types may be removed by trimming.")]
public static Type? GetRealType(this Type type)

Parameters

type Type

The interface or abstract type to get the implementation for.

Returns

Type

The concrete implementation type, or null if not found.
