Value

true if the current System.Reflection.MethodBase object represents the definition of a generic method; otherwise false.

Remarks

The default behavior, when not overridden in a derived class, is to return false. In other words, by default, derived classes do not support generics.

If the current System.Reflection.MethodBase represents a generic method definition, then:

• MethodBase.IsGenericMethodDefinition returns true.
• For each Type object in the array returned by the stem.Reflection.MethodBase.GetGenericArguments method: The Type.IsGenericParameter property returns true; the Type.DeclaringMethod returns the current instance; and the Type.GenericParameterPosition property is the same as the position of the Type object in the array.

For a list of the invariant conditions for terms specific to generic methods, see the MethodInfo.IsGenericMethod property. For a list of the invariant conditions for other terms used in generic reflection, see the Type.IsGenericType property.

Operation

This property is read-only.
