Module Class

A module is a portable executable file, such as type.dll or application.exe, consisting of one or more classes and interfaces. There may be multiple namespaces contained in a single module, and a namespace may span multiple modules.

One or more modules deployed as a unit compose an assembly. For information about creating an assembly with more than one module, see Multifile Assemblies.

Note that a .NET Framework module is not the same as a module in Visual Basic, which is used by a programmers to organize functions and subroutines in an application.

The following code examples show how to use reflection to get information about modules:

using System.Reflection;
using System;
public class Program {

    public static void Main() {
        Class1 c1 = new Class1();
        //  Show the current module.
        Module m = c1.GetType().Module;
        Console.WriteLine("The current module is {0}.", m.Name);

        //  List all modules in the assembly.
        Assembly curAssembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
        Console.WriteLine("The current executing assembly is {0}.", curAssembly);

        Module[] mods = curAssembly.GetModules();
        foreach (Module md in mods) {
            Console.WriteLine("This assembly contains the {0} module", md.Name);
        }
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}
class Class1 {
}
