 Type ^ GetNestedType(System::String ^ name);
public Type GetNestedType (string name);
abstract member GetNestedType : string -> Type
Public Function GetNestedType (name As String) As Type

Parameters

name
String

The string containing the name of the nested type to get.

Returns

Type

abstract member GetNestedType : string * System.Reflection.BindingFlags -> Type
Public Function GetNestedType (name As String, bindingAttr As BindingFlags) As Type

Parameters

name
String

The string containing the name of the nested type to get.
