Value

true if the current object represents the definition of a generic type, none of whose type parameters have been bound to specific types; otherwise false.

Remarks

This property is read-only.

Use this property to determine whether type arguments have been specified for any of the type parameters of a generic type. If type arguments have been specified (that is, bound to the corresponding type parameters), this property returns false.

For a list of the invariant conditions for terms used in generic reflection, see the Type.IsGenericType property description.

Note:

An open generic type can have type parameters even if types have been specified for its type parameters.
