Nullable types problerm

[oscar.acostamontesde]

Hello:
I'm tryn to detect if a type is a nullable type. I'm using the
following code:

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Test
{


public static void Main()
{
Nullable<int> n = 0;
Console.WriteLine(IsNullableType(n.GetType()));
Console.ReadLine();
}

static bool IsNullableType(Type theType){
return (theType.GetType().IsGenericType &&
theType.GetGenericTypeDefinition().Equals(typeof(Nullable<>)));
}

}

First call in IsNullableType returns false, where i think should return
true. And if i remove this first test (theType.GetType().IsGenericType)
it launch a System.InvalidOperationException. Anyone knows why is it
hapening, and/or how to detect if a type is a nullable type? Thanks!!

Well, I found this:

How to get the underlying type of a variable without calling GetType()??

Method overloading to the rescue....
This Works


static void Main(string[] args)
{
Nullable<int> n = 0;
int i = 0;

Console.WriteLine(IsGeneric(n));
Console.WriteLine(IsGeneric(i));

Console.ReadLine();
}

public static bool IsGeneric (Nullable<int> n)
{
return true;
}
public static bool IsGeneric (int i)
{
return false;
}

That's very clever.
