Type.Module Property
Gets the module (the DLL) in which the current Type is defined.
Namespace: System
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.
using System; namespace MyNamespace { class MyClass { } } public class Type_ToString_3 { public static void Main() { try { Type myType = typeof(MyNamespace.MyClass); Console.WriteLine("\nPrinting the details of {0}.\n", 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(Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + e.Message ); } } //Output: //Namespace: MyNamespace. //Module: type_tostring.exe. //Fully qualified type: MyNamespace.MyClass. }
