Given an object which I suspect to be some kind of IList<>
, how can I determine of what it's an IList<>
?
Here's the gutsy solution. It assumes you have the actual object to test (rather than a Type
).
public static Type ListOfWhat(Object list)
{
return ListOfWhat2((dynamic)list);
}
private static Type ListOfWhat2<T>(IList<T> list)
{
return typeof(T);
}
Example usage:
object value = new ObservableCollection<DateTime>();
ListOfWhat(value).Dump();
Prints
typeof(DateTime)
