C# Type IsArrayImpl

Description

Type IsArrayImpl when overridden in a derived class, implements the IsArray property and determines whether the Type is an array.

Syntax

Type.IsArrayImpl has the following syntax.


protected abstract bool IsArrayImpl()

Returns

Type.IsArrayImpl method returns true if the Type is an array; otherwise, false.

Example

The following example overrides the IsArrayImpl method in the MyTypeDelegator class, checks if a variable is an array, and displays the result.


using System;// www  .j a va 2  s.  co  m
using System.Reflection;
public class MyTypeDelegator : TypeDelegator
{
    public string myElementType = null;
    public Type myType;
    public MyTypeDelegator(Type myType) : base(myType)
    {
        this.myType = myType;
    }
    protected override bool IsArrayImpl()
    {
        if(myType.IsArray)
        {
            myElementType = "array";
            return true;
        }
        return false;  
    }
}
public class Type_IsArrayImpl
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        int myInt = 0 ; 
        int[] myArray = new int[5];
        MyTypeDelegator myType = new MyTypeDelegator(myArray.GetType());

        Console.WriteLine(myType.IsArray);
    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
