Type.HasElementTypeImpl Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

When overridden in a derived class, implements the HasElementType property and determines whether the current Type encompasses or refers to another type; that is, whether the current Type is an array, a pointer, or is passed by reference.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected MustOverride Function HasElementTypeImpl As Boolean
protected abstract bool HasElementTypeImpl()

Return Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the Type is an array, a pointer, or is passed by reference; otherwise, false.

Remarks

For example, Type.GetType("Int32[]").HasElementTypeImpl returns true, but Type.GetType("Int32").HasElementTypeImpl returns false. HasElementTypeImpl also returns true for "Int32*" and "Int32&".

NoteNote:

In Silverlight, you cannot derive new classes from Type.
