Reflecting on Generic Types

When you call Type.GetType() in order to obtain metadata descriptions of generic types, you must

make use of a special syntax involving a “back tick” character (`) followed by a numerical value

that represents the number of type parameters the type supports. For example, if you wish to print

out the metadata description of List, you would need to pass the following string into your

application:

System.Collections.Generic.List`1

Here, we are using the numerical value of 1, given that List has only one type parameter.

However, if you wish to reflect over Dictionary, you would supply the value 2:

System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2
