c# - Using reflection to check if a method is "Extension Method"

Question

As part of my application I have a function that receives a MethodInfo and need to do specific operations on it depending if that method is "Extension Method".

I've checked the MethodInfo class and I could not find any IsExtension property or flag that shows that the method is extension.

Does anyone knows how can I find that from the method's MethodInfo?

You can call the IsDefined method on the MethodInfo instance to find this out by checking to see if the ExtensionAttribute is applied to the method:

bool isExtension=someMethod.IsDefined(typeof(ExtensionAttribute),true);
