The IsGenericType property of the TypeDescription class indicates whether the described type is a generic type. A generic type is a type that has type parameters, which allows it to be used with different data types without being rewritten for each one.
Use the IsGenericType property to determine if a type is generic. This can be useful when reflecting over types to understand their structure or when dynamically creating instances of types.
// Example of using IsGenericType
TypeDescription typeDescription = TypeLibrary.GetTypeDescription(typeof(List<>));
if (typeDescription.IsGenericType)
{
Console.WriteLine("The type is a generic type.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("The type is not a generic type.");
}
