My Enum is not recognized using reflection and PropertyInfo

Question

I've a audit class that recovery everything by reflection. I need in my actual point know if an specific property is an Enum, but I'm getting a strange behavior:

During foreach iteration q.PropertyType.IsEnum return false. And using Quick watcher the property is really false, and the IsClass too. So this is basically nothing :)

Studying a little more about the problem I found that Nullable Enum returns false in IsEnum. How can I ignore this nullable and verify if the property is an enum or not?

Answer 1

IsEnum will return false when your property is of a nullable type. In this case, calling Nullable.GetUnderlyingType on q.PropertyType will return the type you want. Then you can check with IsEnum.
