Type.Module Property

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

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

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

public abstract Module Module { get; }

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.


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 ); 
        }
    }
}
