TypedReference Structure

.NET Framework 4.5

Describes objects that contain both a managed pointer to a location and a runtime representation of the type that may be stored at that location.

This API is not CLS-compliant.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

C++

[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
[CLSCompliantAttribute(false)]
public struct TypedReference

The TypedReference type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Checks if this object is equal to the specified object. (Overrides ValueType.Equals(Object).) In XNA Framework, this member is overridden by Equals(Object).
	GetHashCode	Returns the hash code of this object. (Overrides ValueType.GetHashCode().) In XNA Framework, this member is overridden by GetHashCode().
	GetTargetType	Returns the type of the target of the specified TypedReference.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MakeTypedReference	Makes a TypedReference for a field identified by a specified object and list of field descriptions.
	SetTypedReference	Converts the specified value to a TypedReference. This method is not supported.
	TargetTypeToken	Returns the internal metadata type handle for the specified TypedReference.
	ToObject	Converts the specified TypedReference to an Object.
	ToString	Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance. (Inherited from ValueType.) In XNA Framework 3.0, this member is inherited from Object.ToString().

Remarks

A typed reference is a type/value combination used for varargs and other support. TypedReference is a built-in value type that can be used for parameters and local variables.

Arrays of TypedReference objects cannot be created. For example, the following call is invalid:

C++

		Assembly.Load("mscorlib.dll").GetType("System.TypedReference[]");
