Using reflection to check if a method is "Extension Method"

As part of my application I have a function that receives a MethodInfo and need to do specific operations on it depending if that method is "Extension Method".

I've checked the MethodInfo class and I could not find any IsExtension property or flag that shows that the method is extension.

Does anyone knows how can I find that from the method's MethodInfo?

Solution

  • Based on

    F# extension methods in C#

    it seems there is an attribute on the compiled form. So see if the method has this attribute:
