Given this:
class InvoiceHeader {
public int InvoiceHeaderId { get; set; }
IList<InvoiceDetail> LineItems { get; set; }
}
I'm currently using this code to detect if a class has a collection property:
void DetectCollection(object modelSource)
{
Type modelSourceType = modelSource.GetType();
foreach (PropertyInfo p in modelSourceType.GetProperties())
{
if (p.PropertyType.IsGenericType && p.PropertyType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(IList<>))
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(p.Name);
}
}
}
Is there a general way to detect if the LineItems is an enumerable type? Some will use other enumerable type (e.g. ICollection), not an IList.
