The MakeGenericType method in the TypeDescription class is used to create a generic type based on the specified type arguments. This method is particularly useful when you need to work with generic types dynamically at runtime.
The MakeGenericType method in the TypeDescription class is used to create a generic type based on the specified type arguments. This method is particularly useful when you need to work with generic types dynamically at runtime.
To use the MakeGenericType method, you need to provide an array of System.Type objects that represent the type arguments for the generic type. The method returns a System.Type object representing the constructed generic type.
// Example of using MakeGenericType
// Assume we have a generic class defined as follows:
// public class MyGenericClass<T> { }
// Get the TypeDescription for MyGenericClass
TypeDescription typeDescription = TypeLibrary.GetTypeDescription(typeof(MyGenericClass<>));
// Define the type arguments
Type[] typeArgs = { typeof(int) };
// Create the generic type
Type constructedType = typeDescription.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
// constructedType now represents MyGenericClass<int>
