Get .NET type declaring an interface

Question

Let's assume type MyType implements interface IMyInterface. How to find type declaring an interface ? For example,

class UnitTest 
{
  MyTypeBase : IMyInterface  { }
  MyType : MyTypeBase  { }

  void Test() {
    Type declaration = FindDeclaration(typeof(MyType), typeof(IMyInterface));
    Assert.AreEqual(typeof(MyTypeBase), declaration) 
  }

Answer 1

You would walk up Type.BaseType until you've got to the level you want?

Answer 2

You need to use the GetInterface or GetInterfaces methods of the Type.

For example you could do this:

Type declaration = typeof(MyType).GetInterface("IMyInterface");
Assert.IsNotNull(declaration)

Or you could call GetInterfaces and loop through the results until you find IMyInterface.
