Type.Module Property

Gets the module (the DLL) in which the current Type is defined.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
'Declaration
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property Module As Module

Property Value

Type: System.Reflection.Module
The module in which the current Type is defined.

Implements

_Type.Module

If the current Type represents a constructed generic type, this property returns the module in which the generic type definition was defined. For example, if you create an instance of MyGenericStack<int>, the Module property for the constructed type returns the module in which MyGenericStack<T> is defined.

Similarly, if the current Type represents a generic parameter T, this property returns the assembly that contains the generic type that defines T.

This following example demonstrates a use of the Namespace and Module properties and the ToString method of Type.


Imports System
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Namespace MyNamespace
    Class [MyClass]
    End Class '[MyClass]
End Namespace 'MyNamespace
Public Class Type_ToString_3
    Public Shared Sub Main()
        Try
            Dim myType As Type = GetType(MyNamespace.MyClass)
            Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.NewLine + "Printing the details of {0}." + ControlChars.NewLine, myType)
            ' Get the namespace of the class Type_ToString_3.
            Console.WriteLine("Namespace: {0}.", myType.Namespace)
            ' Get the name of the module.
            Console.WriteLine("Module: {0}.", myType.Module)
            ' Get the fully qualified common language runtime namespace.
            Console.WriteLine("Fully qualified type: {0}.", myType.ToString())
        Catch e As Exception
            Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + e.Message.ToString())
        End Try
    End Sub 'Main
End Class 'Type_ToString_3
