How to tell if ParameterInfo type is a collection?

Question

Is there a way to check whether ParameterInfo is a Collection?

I have tried this:

ConstructorInfo[] constructorInfos = typeof(T).GetConstructors();
ConstructorInfo constructorInfo = constructorInfos[0];
ParameterInfo[] paramsVar = constructorInfo.GetParameters();
IEnumerable<ParameterInfo> collectionParams = paramsVar.Where(
    x => x.ParameterType.GetElementType() is ICollection);

but it does not work. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try this:

ConstructorInfo[] constructorInfos = typeof(T).GetConstructors();
ConstructorInfo constructorInfo = constructorInfos[0];
ParameterInfo[] paramsVar = constructorInfo.GetParameters();
IEnumerable<ParameterInfo> collectionParams = paramsVar.Where(
    x => typeof(ICollection).IsAssignableFrom(x.ParameterType));

(note that I've removed the GetElementType call and switched typeof(ICollection) and x.ParameterType)
