Gör så här: Undersöka och instansiera generiska typer med reflektion

Artikel
04/01/2024

Information om generiska typer hämtas på samma sätt som information om andra typer: genom att undersöka ett Type objekt som representerar den generiska typen. Huvudskillnaden är att en allmän typ har en lista över Type objekt som representerar dess generiska typparametrar. Den första proceduren i det här avsnittet undersöker generiska typer.

Du kan skapa ett Type objekt som representerar en konstruerad typ genom att binda typargument till typparametrarna för en allmän typdefinition. Det andra förfarandet visar detta.

Så här undersöker du en allmän typ och dess typparametrar

Hämta en instans av Type som representerar den generiska typen. I följande kod hämtas typen med hjälp av C# typeof -operatorn (GetType i Visual Basic, typeid i Visual C++). Se klassavsnittet Type för andra sätt att hämta ett Type objekt. Observera att i resten av den här proceduren finns typen i en metodparameter med namnet t.
```
Type^ d1 = Dictionary::typeid;
```
```
Type d1 = typeof(Dictionary<,>);
```
```
Dim d1 As Type = GetType(Dictionary(Of ,))
```

Använd egenskapen IsGenericType för att avgöra om typen är generisk och använd IsGenericTypeDefinition egenskapen för att avgöra om typen är en allmän typdefinition.

Console::WriteLine("   Is this a generic type? {0}",
    t->IsGenericType);
Console::WriteLine("   Is this a generic type definition? {0}",
    t->IsGenericTypeDefinition);

Console.WriteLine("   Is this a generic type? {0}",
    t.IsGenericType);
Console.WriteLine("   Is this a generic type definition? {0}",
    t.IsGenericTypeDefinition);

Console.WriteLine("   Is this a generic type? " _
    & t.IsGenericType)
Console.WriteLine("   Is this a generic type definition? " _
    & t.IsGenericTypeDefinition)

Hämta en matris som innehåller argument av allmän typ med hjälp av GetGenericArguments metoden .

array<Type^>^ typeParameters = t->GetGenericArguments();

Type[] typeParameters = t.GetGenericArguments();

Dim typeParameters() As Type = t.GetGenericArguments()

För varje typargument avgör du om det är en typparameter (till exempel i en allmän typdefinition) eller en typ som har angetts för en typparameter (till exempel i en konstruerad typ) med hjälp av IsGenericParameter egenskapen .

Console::WriteLine("   List {0} type arguments:",
    typeParameters->Length);
for each( Type^ tParam in typeParameters )
{
    if (tParam->IsGenericParameter)
    {
        DisplayGenericParameter(tParam);
    }
    else
    {
        Console::WriteLine("      Type argument: {0}",
            tParam);
    }
}

Console.WriteLine("   List {0} type arguments:",
    typeParameters.Length);
foreach( Type tParam in typeParameters )
{
    if (tParam.IsGenericParameter)
    {
        DisplayGenericParameter(tParam);
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("      Type argument: {0}",
            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

I typsystemet representeras en generisk typparameter av en instans av Type, precis som vanliga typer är. Följande kod visar namnet och parameterpositionen för ett Type objekt som representerar en allmän typparameter. Parameterpositionen är trivial information här; Det är av större intresse när du undersöker en typparameter som har använts som ett typargument av en annan generisk typ.

static void DisplayGenericParameter(Type^ tp)
{
    Console::WriteLine("      Type parameter: {0} position {1}",
        tp->Name, tp->GenericParameterPosition);

private static void DisplayGenericParameter(Type tp)
{
    Console.WriteLine("      Type parameter: {0} position {1}",
        tp.Name, tp.GenericParameterPosition);

Private Shared Sub DisplayGenericParameter(ByVal tp As Type)
    Console.WriteLine("      Type parameter: {0} position {1}", _
        tp.Name, tp.GenericParameterPosition)

Fastställa bastypsbegränsningen och gränssnittsbegränsningarna för en generisk typparameter med hjälp GetGenericParameterConstraints av metoden för att hämta alla begränsningar i en enskild matris. Begränsningar är inte garanterade att vara i någon viss ordning.

Type^ classConstraint = nullptr;

for each(Type^ iConstraint in tp->GetGenericParameterConstraints())
{
    if (iConstraint->IsInterface)
    {
        Console::WriteLine("         Interface constraint: {0}",
            iConstraint);
    }
}

if (classConstraint != nullptr)
{
    Console::WriteLine("         Base type constraint: {0}",
        tp->BaseType);
}
else
    Console::WriteLine("         Base type constraint: None");

Type classConstraint = null;

foreach(Type iConstraint in tp.GetGenericParameterConstraints())
{
    if (iConstraint.IsInterface)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("         Interface constraint: {0}",
            iConstraint);
    }
}

if (classConstraint != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("         Base type constraint: {0}",
        tp.BaseType);
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("         Base type constraint: 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

Använd egenskapen GenericParameterAttributes för att identifiera de särskilda begränsningarna för en typparameter, till exempel att kräva att den är en referenstyp. Egenskapen innehåller också värden som representerar variansen, som du kan maskera som du ser i följande kod.

GenericParameterAttributes sConstraints =
    tp->GenericParameterAttributes &
    GenericParameterAttributes::SpecialConstraintMask;

GenericParameterAttributes sConstraints =
    tp.GenericParameterAttributes &
    GenericParameterAttributes.SpecialConstraintMask;

Dim sConstraints As GenericParameterAttributes = _
    tp.GenericParameterAttributes And _
    GenericParameterAttributes.SpecialConstraintMask

De särskilda villkorsattributen är flaggor och samma flagga (GenericParameterAttributes.None) som inte representerar några särskilda begränsningar representerar inte heller någon samvarians eller kontravarians. För att testa för något av dessa villkor måste du därför använda lämplig mask. I det här fallet använder du GenericParameterAttributes.SpecialConstraintMask för att isolera de särskilda villkorsflaggorna.

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)
{
    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

        Console.WriteLine("         Must be a non-nullable value type.")
    End If
End If

Konstruera en instans av en allmän typ

En allmän typ är som en mall. Du kan inte skapa instanser av den om du inte anger verkliga typer för dess allmänna typparametrar. För att göra detta vid körning krävs metoden med reflektion MakeGenericType .

Hämta ett Type objekt som representerar den allmänna typen. Följande kod hämtar den generiska typen Dictionary<TKey,TValue> på två olika sätt: genom att använda Type.GetType(String) metodens överlagring med en sträng som beskriver typen och genom att anropa GetGenericTypeDefinition metoden på den konstruerade typen Dictionary\<String, Example> (Dictionary(Of String, Example) i Visual Basic). Metoden MakeGenericType kräver en allmän typdefinition.

// Use the typeid keyword to create the generic type
// definition directly.
Type^ d1 = Dictionary::typeid;

// 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 = gcnew Dictionary<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.
Type^ d3 = d2->GetType();
Type^ d4 = d3->GetGenericTypeDefinition();

// 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 = new Dictionary<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.
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()

Konstruera en matris med typargument som ersättning för typparametrarna. Matrisen måste innehålla rätt antal Type objekt i samma ordning som de visas i typparameterlistan. I det här fallet är nyckeln (första typparametern) av typen String, och värdena i ordlistan är instanser av en klass med namnet Example.
```
array<Type^>^ typeArgs = {String::typeid, Example::typeid};
```
```
Type[] typeArgs = {typeof(string), typeof(Example)};
```
```
Dim typeArgs() As Type = _
    {GetType(String), GetType(Example)}
```

MakeGenericType Anropa metoden för att binda typargumenten till typparametrarna och konstruera typen.

Type^ constructed = d1->MakeGenericType(typeArgs);

Type constructed = d1.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);

Dim constructed As Type = _
    d1.MakeGenericType(typeArgs)

Använd metodöverlagringen CreateInstance(Type) för att skapa ett objekt av den konstruerade typen. Följande kod lagrar två instanser av Example klassen i det resulterande Dictionary<String, Example> objektet.
```
Object^ o = Activator::CreateInstance(constructed);
```
```
object o = Activator.CreateInstance(constructed);
```
```
Dim o As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(constructed)
```

Exempel

I följande kodexempel definieras en DisplayGenericType metod för att undersöka de generiska typdefinitioner och konstruerade typer som används i koden och visa deras information. Metoden DisplayGenericType visar hur du använder IsGenericTypeegenskaperna , IsGenericParameteroch GenericParameterPosition och - GetGenericArguments metoden.

Exemplet definierar också en DisplayGenericParameter metod för att undersöka en generisk typparameter och visa dess begränsningar.

Kodexemplet definierar en uppsättning testtyper, inklusive en allmän typ som illustrerar typparameterbegränsningar och visar hur du visar information om dessa typer.

Exemplet konstruerar en typ från Dictionary<TKey,TValue> klassen genom att skapa en matris med typargument och anropa MakeGenericType metoden. Programmet jämför det Type objekt som skapats med hjälp av MakeGenericType ett Type objekt som hämtats med typeof (GetType i Visual Basic), vilket visar att de är desamma. På samma sätt använder GetGenericTypeDefinition programmet metoden för att hämta den generiska typdefinitionen av den konstruerade typen och jämför den med objektet Type som representerar Dictionary<TKey,TValue> klassen.
