Class GenericTypeActivator

Namespace

AsmResolver.DotNet.Signatures

Assembly

AsmResolver.DotNet.dll

Provides a mechanism for substituting generic type parameters in a type signature with arguments.

public class GenericTypeActivator : ITypeSignatureVisitor<GenericContext, TypeSignature>

Inheritance

object

GenericTypeActivator

Implements

ITypeSignatureVisitor<GenericContext, TypeSignature>

Inherited Members

object.Equals(object)

object.Equals(object, object)

object.GetHashCode()

object.GetType()

object.MemberwiseClone()

object.ReferenceEquals(object, object)
