Determine if object derives from collection type

Question

I want to determine if a generic object type (\"T\") method type parameter is a collection type. I would typically be sending T through as a Generic.List but it could be any co

Answer 1

Also, remember just because you are using generics, don't forget other basic techniques, in this case, like overloading. I suspect the you are planning something like this:

void SomeFunc(T t)
{
    if (IsCollectionCase(t))
       DoSomethingForCollections()
    else
       DoSOmethingElse();
}

This would be far better handled as:

void SomeFunc(IEnumerable t)
{
       DoSomethingForCollections()
}
void SomeFunc(T t)
{
       DoSomethingElse()
}
