VisitArray(Type)

Visits all array types and dispatches into VisitArrayVector or VisitArrayMultidimensional.

Declaration

protected virtual TResult VisitArray(Type type)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Type	type	Array type to visit.

Returns

Type	Description
TResult	Result after the visit.

VisitArrayMultidimensional(Type)

Visits a multi-dimensional array type.

Declaration

protected virtual TResult VisitArrayMultidimensional(Type type)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Type	type	Multi-dimensional array type to visit.
