POList closed types that runtime has created from open generic types

Body
copied!<p>When I list all the types in the current AppDomain, I see my generic types with the generic placeholders. However, if I instantiate my generic types with a type and then list all the types in the appDomain, I don't see the newly created closed types.</p> <p>In the example below, the output is only:</p> <pre><code>Foo`1[T] </code></pre> <p>I'm looking for the closed type:</p> <pre><code>Foo`1[System.Int32] </code></pre> <p>Is there a way to see the closed types that the runtime has created for me based on my open generic types?</p> <pre><code>class Foo<T> { } class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var tmp = new Foo<int>(); ListTypes(); } private static void ListTypes() { var types = from assembly in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() from type in assembly.GetTypes() where type.Name.Contains("Foo") select type; foreach (var type in types) Console.WriteLine(type.ToString()); } } </code></pre> <p>I have also tried finding all types by the generic argument in hopes of discovering the closed type.</p> <pre><code>class Foo<T> { } class Bar { } class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { var tmp = new Foo<Bar>(); ListTypes(); } private static void ListTypes() { var types = from assembly in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies() from type in assembly.GetTypes() where type.IsGenericType && type.GetGenericArguments().Contains(typeof(Bar)) select type; foreach (var type in types) Console.WriteLine(type.ToString()); } } </code></pre> <p><em>This is just to satisfy my curiosity.</em></p>
