Is there a way to determine if a generic type is built from a specific generic type definition?

Question

I\'ve got a generic method:

Func, bool> CreateFunction()

where T can be any number of diff

Answer 1

You could do something like

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Example>.IsDictionary();

        Example>.IsDictionary();

        Example>.IsDictionary();

        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}

public class Example
{
    public static void IsDictionary()
    {
        if (typeof(T).GetInterface(typeof(IDictionary<,>).Name) != null || typeof(T).Name.Contains("IDictionary"))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Is IDictionary");
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Not IDictionary");
        }
    }
}
