Type Class

Represents type declarations for the following categories of types: class types, interface types, array types, value types, and enumeration types.

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

Syntax

[SerializableAttribute]
public abstract class Type : MemberInfo, IReflect

Remarks

The Type class is the root of the System.Reflection functionality and is the primary way that you access metadata. Use the members of the Type class to get information about a type declaration — such as a class's constructors, methods, fields, properties, and events — as well as information about the module and the assembly in which the class is deployed.

Version Information

Available in the .NET Micro Framework versions 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2.
