泛型型別的相關信息與其他類型的資訊相同:藉由檢查代表泛型型別的 Type 物件。 主要差異在於泛型類型具有代表其泛型型別參數的 Type 對象清單。 本節中的第一個程式會檢查泛型類型。
您可以建立 Type 物件,將型別自變數系結至泛型型別定義的型別參數,以代表建構型別。 第二個程序會示範這一點。
檢查泛型類型及其型別參數
取得代表泛型型別的 Type 實例。 在下列程式代碼中,類型是使用 C#
typeof
運算子取得的(在 Visual Basic 中GetType
)。 如需取得 Type 物件的其他方式,請參閱 Type。 在此程序的其餘部分,類型會包含在名為t
的方法參數中。Type d1 = typeof(Dictionary<,>);
Dim d1 As Type = GetType(Dictionary(Of ,))
使用 IsGenericType 屬性來判斷類型是否為泛型,並使用 IsGenericTypeDefinition 屬性來判斷類型是否為泛型型別定義。
Console.WriteLine($" Is this a generic type? {t.IsGenericType}"); Console.WriteLine($" Is this a generic type definition? {t.IsGenericTypeDefinition}");
Console.WriteLine(" Is this a generic type? " _ & t.IsGenericType) Console.WriteLine(" Is this a generic type definition? " _ & t.IsGenericTypeDefinition)
使用 GetGenericArguments 方法,取得包含泛型型別自變數的陣列。
Type[] typeParameters = t.GetGenericArguments();
Dim typeParameters() As Type = t.GetGenericArguments()
針對每個類型自變數,使用 IsGenericParameter 屬性,判斷它是類型參數(例如,在泛型型別定義中),還是為類型參數指定的類型(例如,在建構型別中)。
Console.WriteLine($" List {typeParameters.Length} type arguments:"); foreach (Type tParam in typeParameters) { if (tParam.IsGenericParameter) { DisplayGenericParameter(tParam); } else { Console.WriteLine($" Type argument: {tParam}"); } }
Console.WriteLine(" List {0} type arguments:", _ typeParameters.Length) For Each tParam As Type In typeParameters If tParam.IsGenericParameter Then DisplayGenericParameter(tParam) Else Console.WriteLine(" Type argument: {0}", _ tParam) End If Next
在類型系統中,泛型型別參數是由 Type實例表示,就像一般類型一樣。 下列程式代碼會顯示代表泛型型別參數之 Type 對象的名稱和參數位置。 參數位置在這裡是次要的資訊;當您檢查已作為另一個泛型類型之類型引數的類型參數時,這會更令人感興趣。
Console.WriteLine($" Type parameter: {tp.Name} position {tp.GenericParameterPosition}");
Private Shared Sub DisplayGenericParameter(ByVal tp As Type) Console.WriteLine(" Type parameter: {0} position {1}", _ tp.Name, tp.GenericParameterPosition)
使用 GetGenericParameterConstraints 方法來獲取所有約束條件於一個單一陣列中,以判斷泛型型別參數的基底型別約束和介面約束。 條件約束不保證會以任何特定順序排列。
foreach (Type iConstraint in tp.GetGenericParameterConstraints()) { if (iConstraint.IsInterface) { Console.WriteLine($" Interface constraint: {iConstraint}"); } } Console.WriteLine($" Base type constraint: {tp.BaseType ?? tp.BaseType: None}");
Dim classConstraint As Type = Nothing For Each iConstraint As Type In tp.GetGenericParameterConstraints() If iConstraint.IsInterface Then Console.WriteLine(" Interface constraint: {0}", _ iConstraint) End If Next If classConstraint IsNot Nothing Then Console.WriteLine(" Base type constraint: {0}", _ tp.BaseType) Else Console.WriteLine(" Base type constraint: None") End If
使用 GenericParameterAttributes 屬性來探索類型參數的特殊條件約束,例如要求它是參考型別。 屬性也包含代表變異數的值,您可以遮罩,如下列程式代碼所示。
GenericParameterAttributes sConstraints = tp.GenericParameterAttributes & GenericParameterAttributes.SpecialConstraintMask;
Dim sConstraints As GenericParameterAttributes = _ tp.GenericParameterAttributes And _ GenericParameterAttributes.SpecialConstraintMask
特殊條件約束屬性是旗標,而代表沒有特殊條件約束的相同旗標GenericParameterAttributes.None也代表無共變數或反變數。 因此,若要測試上述任一條件,您必須使用適當的遮罩。 在此情況下,請使用 GenericParameterAttributes.SpecialConstraintMask 來隔離特殊條件約束旗標。
if (sConstraints == GenericParameterAttributes.None) { Console.WriteLine(" No special constraints."); } else { if (GenericParameterAttributes.None != (sConstraints & GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint)) { Console.WriteLine(" Must have a parameterless constructor."); } if (GenericParameterAttributes.None != (sConstraints & GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint)) { Console.WriteLine(" Must be a reference type."); } if (GenericParameterAttributes.None != (sConstraints & GenericParameterAttributes.NotNullableValueTypeConstraint)) { Console.WriteLine(" Must be a non-nullable value type."); } }
If sConstraints = GenericParameterAttributes.None Then Console.WriteLine(" No special constraints.") Else If GenericParameterAttributes.None <> (sConstraints And _ GenericParameterAttributes.DefaultConstructorConstraint) Then Console.WriteLine(" Must have a parameterless constructor.") End If If GenericParameterAttributes.None <> (sConstraints And _ GenericParameterAttributes.ReferenceTypeConstraint) Then Console.WriteLine(" Must be a reference type.") End If If GenericParameterAttributes.None <> (sConstraints And _ GenericParameterAttributes.NotNullableValueTypeConstraint) Then Console.WriteLine(" Must be a non-nullable value type.") End If End If
建構泛型類型的實例
泛型類型就像範本。 除非指定其泛型型別參數的實際類型,否則您無法建立它的實例。 若要在運行時間執行這項作業,使用反射需要 MakeGenericType 方法。
取得代表泛型類型的 Type 物件。 下列程式代碼會以兩種不同的方式取得泛型類型 Dictionary<TKey,TValue>:使用 Type.GetType(String) 方法多載搭配描述型別的字串,以及在建構型別 GetGenericTypeDefinition 上呼叫
Dictionary\<String, Example>
方法(在 Visual Basic 中為Dictionary(Of String, Example)
)。 MakeGenericType 方法需要泛型型別定義。// Use the typeof operator to create the generic type // definition directly. To specify the generic type definition, // omit the type arguments but retain the comma that separates // them. Type d1 = typeof(Dictionary<,>); // You can also obtain the generic type definition from a // constructed class. In this case, the constructed class // is a dictionary of Example objects, with String keys. Dictionary<string, Example> d2 = []; // Get a Type object that represents the constructed type, // and from that get the generic type definition. The // variables d1 and d4 contain the same type. Type d3 = d2.GetType(); Type d4 = d3.GetGenericTypeDefinition();
' Use the GetType operator to create the generic type ' definition directly. To specify the generic type definition, ' omit the type arguments but retain the comma that separates ' them. Dim d1 As Type = GetType(Dictionary(Of ,)) ' You can also obtain the generic type definition from a ' constructed class. In this case, the constructed class ' is a dictionary of Example objects, with String keys. Dim d2 As New Dictionary(Of String, Example) ' Get a Type object that represents the constructed type, ' and from that get the generic type definition. The ' variables d1 and d4 contain the same type. Dim d3 As Type = d2.GetType() Dim d4 As Type = d3.GetGenericTypeDefinition()
建構型別自變數陣列,以取代型別參數。 陣列必須包含正確的 Type 物件數目,順序與類型參數清單中顯示的順序相同。 在此情況下,索引鍵 (第一個類型參數) 的類型為 String,而字典中的值是名為
Example
類別的實例。Type[] typeArgs = [typeof(string), typeof(Example)];
Dim typeArgs() As Type = _ {GetType(String), GetType(Example)}
呼叫 MakeGenericType 方法,將型別自變數系結至型別參數並建構型別。
Type constructed = d1.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
Dim constructed As Type = _ d1.MakeGenericType(typeArgs)
使用 CreateInstance(Type) 方法重載來建立建構型別的物件。 下列程式代碼會將
Example
類別的兩個實例儲存在產生的Dictionary<String, Example>
物件中。_ = Activator.CreateInstance(constructed);
Dim o As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(constructed)
範例
下列程式代碼範例會定義 DisplayGenericType
方法來檢查程式代碼中使用的泛型型別定義和建構型別,並顯示其資訊。
DisplayGenericType
方法示範如何使用 IsGenericType、IsGenericParameter和 GenericParameterPosition 屬性和 GetGenericArguments 方法。
此範例也會定義 DisplayGenericParameter
方法來檢查泛型型別參數並顯示其條件約束。
程式代碼範例會定義一組測試類型,包括說明類型參數條件約束的泛型型別,並示範如何顯示這些類型的相關信息。
此範例會藉由建立類型自變數的陣列並呼叫 Dictionary<TKey,TValue> 方法,從 MakeGenericType 類別建構類型。 程序會比較使用 Type 建構的 MakeGenericType 物件,以及使用Visual Basic Type 取得的 typeof
物件(在Visual Basic中GetType
),示範它們相同。 同樣地,程式會使用 GetGenericTypeDefinition 方法來取得建構型別的泛型型別定義,並將它與代表 Type 類別的 Dictionary<TKey,TValue> 對象進行比較。
