IXamlMethod Generic definition

[workgroupengineering]

HI, in the pr https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/pull/15274. I have need to retrieve Interactive.AddHandler<TEventArgs> method. To do this, I tried using IXamlType.FindMethod and checking if the method name is AddHandler`1 without success.

After investigation I found following workaround

https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/blob/3f82e64c469198d3e80557b7c3c5071a8c29d806/src/Markup/Avalonia.Markup.Xaml.Loader/CompilerExtensions/Transformers/AvaloniaXamlIlWellKnownTypes.cs#L155-L163

                AddHandlerT = Interactive.FindMethod(m => m.IsPublic
                    && !m.IsStatic
                    && m.Name == "AddHandler"
                    && m.Parameters.Count == 4
                    && RoutedEvent.IsAssignableFrom(m.Parameters[0])
                    && m.Parameters[0].GenericArguments?.Count == 1 // This is specific this case  workaround to check is generici method
                    && (cfg.WellKnownTypes.Delegate).IsAssignableFrom(m.Parameters[1])
                    && m.Parameters[2].IsEnum
                    && m.Parameters[3].Equals(cfg.WellKnownTypes.Boolean) == true

I would like to make a PR that makes it easier to identify the generic method. There are a few possibilities:

• Add `n to the end of name of generic method, where n is number of generic arguments
• Add property IsGenericDef to IXamlMethod
• Expose GenericArguments and GenericParameters
• All three previous proposed solutions

What do you think is the best solution?

The general idea of our type system abstraction is to mirror SRE APIs, since those are the most convenient to use. So 2+3 would make the most sense.

Do I add 2+3 to IXamlMethod or create IXamlGenericMethod?

I would say, adding these to IXamlMethod.
