_Type Examples
The following example demonstrates the IsContextful, IsMarshalByRef, and IsPrimitive properties of the Type class. It checks whether the given type can be hosted in the context, whether it can be marshaled by reference, and whether the type is a primitive data type.

' Determine whether the types can be hosted in a Context.
Console.WriteLine("The Contextful property for the {0} type is {1}.", GetType(MyTypeDemoClass).Name, GetType(MyTypeDemoClass).IsContextful.ToString())
Console.WriteLine("The Contextful property for the {0} type is {1}.", GetType(MyContextBoundClass).Name, GetType(MyContextBoundClass).IsContextful.ToString())
