Type.IsSpecialName Property
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Gets a value indicating whether the Type has a name that requires special handling.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property IsSpecialName As Boolean
public bool IsSpecialName { get; }
Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
true if the Type has a name that requires special handling; otherwise, false.
Remarks
Names that begin with or contain an underscore character (_), property accessors, and operator overloading methods are examples of types that might require special treatment by some compilers.
If the current Type represents a constructed generic type, this property applies to the generic type definition from which the type was constructed. For example, if the current Type represents MyGenericType<int> (MyGenericType(Of Integer) in Visual Basic), the value of this property is determined by MyGenericType<T>.
If the current Type represents a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method, this property always returns false.
