How do I put all types implementing a certain generic interface in a dictionary?
- by James Wenday
Given a particular interface ITarget<T> and a particular type myType, here's how you would determine T if myType implements ITarget<T>. (This code snippet is taken from the answer to an earlier question.)
foreach (var i in myType.GetInterfaces ())
if (i.IsGenericType
&& i.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(ITarget<>))
return i.GetGenericArguments ()[0] ;
However, this only checks a single type, myType. How would I create a dictionary of all such type parameters, where the key is T and the value is myType? I think it would look something like this:
var searchTarget = typeof(ITarget<>);
var dict = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().[???]
.Where(t => t.IsGenericType
&& t.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == searchTarget)
.[???];
What goes in the blanks?
