Static Code Analysis - The "Possible System.NullReferenceException" diagnostic should not be produced for GetType

created 7 years ago

Please see following example: (GetType never returns Null/Nothing)

Visual Basic
Public Class Class1 Public Function Foo(Of T)() As Boolean Dim typeOfT As Type = GetType(T) 'CRR0027 Return typeOfT.IsInterface End Function End Class

    Thanks for the code snippet. I agree GetType Operator (Visual Basic) can never return Nothing, thus the 'CRR0027' issue in this case is false positive.
    We will do our best to fix it as soon as possible. Once we make any progress, we will let you know of our results in the context of this ticket.
