The following example returns the handle of the corresponding type and passes the handle to a method that gets the type from the handle and displays it.
using System; using System.Reflection; class MyClass { public int myField = 10; } class Type_TypeHandle { public static void Main() { try { MyClass myClass = new MyClass(); // Get the type of MyClass. Type myClassType = myClass.GetType(); // Get the runtime handle of MyClass. RuntimeTypeHandle myClassHandle = myClassType.TypeHandle; DisplayTypeHandle(myClassHandle); } catch(Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Exception: {0}", e.Message ); } } public static void DisplayTypeHandle(RuntimeTypeHandle myTypeHandle) { // Get the type from the handle. Type myType = Type.GetTypeFromHandle(myTypeHandle); // Display the type. Console.WriteLine("\nDisplaying the type from the handle:\n"); Console.WriteLine("The type is {0}.", myType.ToString()); } }
