Type.IsAssignableFrom(Type) Method

Definition

Determines whether an instance of a specified type c can be assigned to a variable of the current type.

public:
 virtual bool IsAssignableFrom(Type ^ c);
public virtual bool IsAssignableFrom (Type? c);
public virtual bool IsAssignableFrom (Type c);
abstract member IsAssignableFrom : Type -> bool
override this.IsAssignableFrom : Type -> bool
Public Overridable Function IsAssignableFrom (c As Type) As Boolean

Parameters

c
Type

The type to compare with the current type.

Returns

true if any of the following conditions is true:

  • c and the current instance represent the same type.

  • c is derived either directly or indirectly from the current instance. c is derived directly from the current instance if it inherits from the current instance; c is derived indirectly from the current instance if it inherits from a succession of one or more classes that inherit from the current instance.

  • The current instance is an interface that c implements.

  • c is a generic type parameter, and the current instance represents one of the constraints of c.

  • c represents a value type, and the current instance represents Nullable<c> (Nullable(Of c) in Visual Basic).

false if none of these conditions are true, or if c is null.

Implements

The following example demonstrates the IsAssignableFrom method using defined classes, integer arrays, and generics.

In the following example, the current instance is a Type object that represents the Stream class. GenericWithConstraint is a generic type whose generic type parameter must be of type Stream. Passing its generic type parameter to the IsAssignableFrom method indicates that an instance of the generic type parameter can be assigned to an Stream object.

using System;
using System.IO;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      Type t = typeof(Stream);
      Type genericT = typeof(GenericWithConstraint<>);
      Type genericParam = genericT.GetGenericArguments()[0];
      Console.WriteLine(t.IsAssignableFrom(genericParam));  
      // Displays True.
   }
}

public class GenericWithConstraint<T> where T : Stream
{}
open System.IO

type GenericWithConstraint<'T when 'T :> Stream>() = class end

let t = typeof<Stream>
let genericT = typeof<GenericWithConstraint<_>>.GetGenericTypeDefinition()
let genericParam = genericT.GetGenericArguments()[0]
printfn $"{t.IsAssignableFrom genericParam}"
// Displays True.
Imports System.IO

Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim t As Type = GetType(Stream)
      Dim genericT As Type = GetType(GenericWithConstraint(Of ))
      Dim genericParam As Type = genericT.GetGenericArguments()(0)
      Console.WriteLine(t.IsAssignableFrom(genericParam))  
      ' Displays True.
   End Sub
End Module

Public Class GenericWithConstraint(Of T As Stream)
End Class

Remarks

The IsAssignableFrom method can be used to determine whether an instance of c can be assigned to an instance of the current type, The method is most useful when you are handling objects whose types are not known at design time and allows for conditional assignment, as the following example shows.

using System;
using System.Collections;

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      Type t = typeof(IEnumerable);
      Type c = typeof(Array);
      
      IEnumerable instanceOfT;
      int[] instanceOfC = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
      if (t.IsAssignableFrom(c))
         instanceOfT = instanceOfC;
  }
}
open System
open System.Collections

let t = typeof<IEnumerable>
let c = typeof<Array>

let mutable instanceOfT = Unchecked.defaultof<IEnumerable>
let instanceOfC = [| 1; 2; 3; 4 |]
if t.IsAssignableFrom c then
    instanceOfT <- instanceOfC
Imports System.Collections

Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim t As Type = GetType(IEnumerable)
      Dim c As Type = GetType(Array)
      
      Dim instanceOfT As IEnumerable
      Dim instanceOfC As Integer() = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }
      If t.IsAssignableFrom(c) Then
         instanceOfT = instanceOfC
      End If  
   End Sub
End Module

This method thus ensures that a line of code like the following will execute at runtime without throwing an InvalidCastException exception or a similar exception:

instanceOfT = instanceOfC;
instanceOfT <- instanceOfC
instanceOfT = instanceOfC

This method can be overridden by a derived class.

Note

A generic type definition is not assignable from a closed constructed type. That is, you cannot assign the closed constructed type MyGenericList<int> (MyGenericList(Of Integer) in Visual Basic) to a variable of type MyGenericList<T>.

If the c parameter is of type TypeBuilder, the result is based on the type that is to be built. The following code example demonstrates this using a built type named B.

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Reflection.Emit;

public class A
{}

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
      AssemblyName assemName = new AssemblyName();
      assemName.Name = "TempAssembly";

      // Define a dynamic assembly in the current application domain.
      AssemblyBuilder assemBuilder = domain.DefineDynamicAssembly(assemName,
                                            AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run);

      // Define a dynamic module in this assembly.
      ModuleBuilder moduleBuilder = assemBuilder.DefineDynamicModule("TempModule");

      TypeBuilder b1 = moduleBuilder.DefineType("B", TypeAttributes.Public, typeof(A));
      Console.WriteLine(typeof(A).IsAssignableFrom(b1));
   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//        True
open System
open System.Reflection
open System.Reflection.Emit

type A() = class end

let domain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain
let assemName = AssemblyName()
assemName.Name <- "TempAssembly"

// Define a dynamic assembly in the current application domain.
let assemBuilder = 
    domain.DefineDynamicAssembly(assemName, AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run)

// Define a dynamic module in this assembly.
let moduleBuilder = 
    assemBuilder.DefineDynamicModule "TempModule"

let b1 = moduleBuilder.DefineType("B", TypeAttributes.Public, typeof<A>)
printfn $"{typeof<A>.IsAssignableFrom b1}"
// The example displays the following output:
//        True
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.Reflection.Emit

      Dim assemName As New AssemblyName()

      Dim assemBuilder As AssemblyBuilder = domain.DefineDynamicAssembly(assemName,
