Interface IReflectionTypeSystemProvider

Interface representing a reflection provider used to perform type system checks.

public interface IReflectionTypeSystemProvider

Determines whether an instance of the specified type can be assigned from an instance of the specified type c.

bool IsAssignableFrom(Type type, Type c)

Type	Name	Description
System.Type	type	The type to check for assignment compatibility.
System.Type	c	The type to compare with the specified `type`.

Type	Description
System.Boolean	true if `c` and the specified `type` represent the same type, or if the specified `type` is in the inheritance hierarchy of `c`, or if the specified `type` is an interface that `c` implements, or if `c` is a generic type parameter and the specified `type` represents one of the constraints of `c`. false if none of these conditions are true, or if `c` is null.

Determines whether two COM types have the same identity and are eligible for type equivalence.

bool IsEquivalentTo(Type type, Type other)

Type	Name	Description
System.Type	type	The COM type that is tested for equivalence with the other type.
System.Type	other	The COM type that is tested for equivalence with the specified type.

Type	Description
System.Boolean	true if the COM types are equivalent; otherwise, false. This method also returns false if one type is in an assembly that is loaded for execution, and the other is in an assembly that is loaded into the reflection-only context.

Determines whether the specified object is an instance of the specified type.

bool IsInstanceOfType(Type type, object o)

Type	Name	Description
System.Type	type	The type to compare the object against.
System.Object	o	The object to compare with the specified type.

Type	Description
System.Boolean	true if the specified `type` is in the inheritance hierarchy of the object represented by `o`, or if the specified `type` is an interface that `o` supports. false if neither of these conditions is the case, or if `o` is null, or if the specified `type` is an open generic type (that is, System.Type.ContainsGenericParameters returns true).

Determines whether the class represented by the specified type derives from the class represented by the specified type c.

bool IsSubclassOf(Type type, Type c)

Type	Name	Description
System.Type	type	The type to check for being a subclass.
System.Type	c	The type to compare with the specified type.

Type	Description
System.Boolean	true if the type represented by the `c` parameter and the specified `type` represent classes, and the class represented by the specified `type` derives from the class represented by `c`; otherwise, false. This method also returns false if `c` and the specified `type` represent the same class.
