The CodeTypeReferenceExpression type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CodeTypeReferenceExpression() | Initializes a new instance of the CodeTypeReferenceExpression class. |
![]() | CodeTypeReferenceExpression(CodeTypeReference) | Initializes a new instance of the CodeTypeReferenceExpression class using the specified type. |
![]() | CodeTypeReferenceExpression(String) | Initializes a new instance of the CodeTypeReferenceExpression class using the specified data type name. |
![]() | CodeTypeReferenceExpression(Type) | Initializes a new instance of the CodeTypeReferenceExpression class using the specified data type. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Type | Gets or sets the data type to reference. |
![]() | UserData | Gets the user-definable data for the current object. (Inherited from CodeObject.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
CodeTypeReferenceExpression can be used to reference a particular data type.
The Type property specifies the data type to reference.
The following example demonstrates use of a CodeTypeReferenceExpression to represent a reference to a type.
// Creates an expression referencing the System.DateTime type.
CodeTypeReferenceExpression^ typeRef1 = gcnew CodeTypeReferenceExpression("System.DateTime");
// Create a C# code provider
CodeDomProvider^ provider = CodeDomProvider::CreateProvider("CSharp");
// Generate code and send the output to the console
provider->GenerateCodeFromExpression(typeRef1, Console::Out, gcnew CodeGeneratorOptions());
// The code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:
// System.DateTime
