public bool IsAssignableFrom (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Composition.Reflection.TypeRef other);

member this.IsAssignableFrom : Microsoft.VisualStudio.Composition.Reflection.TypeRef -> bool

Public Function IsAssignableFrom (other As TypeRef) As Boolean

Parameters

other: TypeRef

TypeRef to compare to

Returns

Boolean

true if the given TypeRef can be assigned to this instance, false otherwise.
