iv'e got a object witch i create out of an entity(T) using reflection , the object is my implementation of a table it holds a List of Columns witch i extract their properties from the entity using reflection :
public class Generic_Table<T> : Table
{

    ...// in ctor
    type = this.GetType().GetGenericArguments()[0]; // type of T
    BuildColumns(type);

    private void BuildColumns(Type type)
    {
        PropertyInfo[] properties = type.GetProperties();

        Columns = new KeyValuePair<string, Type>[properties.Count()];
        int i = 0;
        foreach (PropertyInfo property in properties)
        {
            Columns[i++] = new KeyValuePair<string, Type>(property.Name, property.PropertyType);
        }

    }


i'm looking for a way to cast the PropertyType value as a nullable type

so that the Type value in Columns[i] would be int? if for example some property as an int
PropertyType value.

back to the issue at hand iv'e tried using property.PropertyType.MakeByRefType() this makes The Type to be int& witch causes a different problem when i try to use this Type in generic methods this throws an Argument Exception The type 'System.Int32&' may not be used as a type argument
