TypesExtensions Methods

Gets the single closed version of genericTypeDefinition that the current type is assignable from. In case none or multiple matching closed types are found, and exception is thrown. Example: When type is a type class X : IX<int>, IFoo<string> and genericTypeDefinition is type IX<T>: this method will return type IX<int>.

Gets the list of closed versions of genericTypeDefinition that the current type is assignable from. Example: When type is a type class X : IX<int>, IFoo<string> and genericTypeDefinition is type IX<T>: this method will return type IX<int>.

Returns true is there is a closed version of the supplied genericTypeDefinition that is assignable from the current type. This method returns true when either type itself, one of its base classes or one of its implemented interfaces is a closed version of genericTypeDefinition; otherwise false.

Builds an easy to read type name. Namespaces will be omitted, and generic types will be displayed in a C#-like syntax. Ideal for reporting type names in exception messages.
