- targetType
- Type
The type to compare with the current type.
Returns
true if any of the following conditions is true:
The current instance and
targetTyperepresent the same type.The current type is derived either directly or indirectly from
targetType. The current type is derived directly fromtargetTypeif it inherits fromtargetType; the current type is derived indirectly fromtargetTypeif it inherits from a succession of one or more classes that inherit fromtargetType.targetTypeis an interface that the current type implements.The current type is a generic type parameter, and
targetTyperepresents one of the constraints of the current type.The current type represents a value type, and
targetTyperepresentsNullable<c>(Nullable(Of c)in Visual Basic).
false if none of these conditions are true, or if targetType is null.
