Get type of generic list

Question

In code listed bellow I need determine type of TSource. Parsed parameter can be, for example IList, or only Car etc. In method Model.Map<> I need parse type of generic type. Everything works fine when parsed parameter is single object (Car, Boat...). Problem is when collection is parsed. So, I need to cover case when parameter is collection.

public class Convert<TSource, TDestination>
{
    public static TDestination ToModel(TSource source)
    {
        Model.Map<TSource, TDestination>();
    }
}

Answer 1

You can try with - based on GetGenericArguments

var type = source.GetType().GetGenericArguments()[0];
