How to identify each parameter type in a C# method?
- by user465876
I have a C# method say:
MyMethod(int num, string name, Color color, MyComplexType complex)
Using reflection, how can I distinctly identify each of the parameter types of any method?
I want to perform some task by parameter type. If the type is simple int, string or boolean then I do something, if it is Color, XMLDocument, etc I do something else and if it is user defined type like MyComplexType or MyCalci etc then I want to do certain task.
I am able to retrieve all the parameters of a method using ParameterInfo and can loop through each parameter and get their types. But how can I identify each data type?
foreach (var parameter in parameters)
{
//identify primitive types??
//identify value types
//identify reference types
}
Edit: this is apart of my code to create a propert grid sort of page where I want to show the parameter list with data types for the selected method. If the parameter has any userdefined type/reference type then I want to expand it further to show all the elements under it with datatypes.
