C#中 IsGenericType和IsGenericTypeDefinition区别

IsGenericType tells you that this instance of System.Type represents a generic type with all its type parameters specified. For example, List<int> is a generic type.

IsGenericTypeDefinition, on the other hand, tells you that this instance of System.Type represents a definition from which generic types can be constructed by supplying type arguments for its type parameters. For example, List<> is a generic type definition.

You can get a generic type definition of a generic type by calling GetGenericTypeDefinition:

var listInt = typeof(List<int>);
var typeDef = listInt.GetGenericTypeDefinition(); // gives typeof(List<>)

You can make a generic type from a generic type definition by providing it with type arguments to MakeGenericType:

var listDef = typeof(List<>);
var listStr = listDef.MakeGenericType(typeof(string));

IsGenericType:

typeof(DateTime).IsGenericType : false

typeof(List<int>).IsGenericType: true

typeof(Dictionary<,>).IsGenericType:true

IsGenericTypeDefinition:

typeof(List<int>).IsGenericTypeDefintion : false

typeof(List<>).IsGenericTypeDefinition :true

IsGenericTypeDefinition ： 获取一个值，该值指示当前 Type 是否表示可以用来构造其他泛型类型的泛型类型定义。 
也就是说表明 这个 type 是否可以用于构建泛型定义 
比如 List<> 可以通过反射构建出 List,List 

1. var typeList = typeof(List<>);

2. Type typeDataList = typeList.MakeGenericType( typeof(DateTime)); //通过List<>构建出List<DateTime>
