Detecting a Nullable Type via reflection

Question

Surprisingly the following code fails the Assert:

int? wtf = 0;
Assert.IsType>(wtf);

So just out curiosity, how c

Answer 1

I like the @jon-skeet answer but it only works if you know the type you are testing against. In our world we are using reflection to open up objects and test values against regex expressions.

simplifying the extension to work for any type worked better for us.

public static bool IsNullable(this Type type)
{
    return Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(type) != null;
}

generics are life's blood but sometimes... :)
