Type.Module Property
Gets the module (the DLL) in which the current Type is defined.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
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
