C# Type IsPrimitiveImpl

Description

Syntax

Type.IsPrimitiveImpl has the following syntax.


protected abstract bool IsPrimitiveImpl()

Returns

Type.IsPrimitiveImpl method returns true if the Type is one of the primitive types; otherwise, false.

Example

The following example determines whether the given type is a primitive type and displays the result.


/*from  w w  w.  j a v  a 2s.c  om*/

using System;
using System.Reflection;
public class MyTypeDelegatorClass : TypeDelegator
{
    public string myElementType = null;
    private Type myType = null ; 
    public MyTypeDelegatorClass(Type myType) : base(myType)
    {
        this.myType = myType;
    }
    protected override bool IsPrimitiveImpl()
    {
        if(myType.IsPrimitive)
        { 
            myElementType = "primitive";
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}
public class MyTypeDemoClass
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        MyTypeDelegatorClass myType;
        myType = new MyTypeDelegatorClass(typeof(int));
        Console.WriteLine(myType.IsPrimitive);
    }
}

The code above generates the following result.
