c# - Assembly.GetTypes() returns strange type names e.g. "<>c"

Question

When using Assembly.GetTypes() I get types that have Type.Name that begin with <>c.....

I tried to google if this is anonymous types or something else. But cannot get a really good answer.

Is there a property on Type that indicate what these types are? I do not like having to do if(type.Name.StartsWith("<>"))

Answer 1

These are compiler generated display classes. You can distinguish them by looking for the CompilerGeneratedAttribute:

var attr = Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(type, typeof(CompilerGeneratedAttribute));
