Type.Module Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets the module (the DLL) in which the current Type is defined.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Implements
_Type.ModuleIf 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.
Namespace MyNamespace Class [MyClass] End Class End Namespace Public Class Example Public Shared Sub Main() Dim myType As Type = GetType(MyNamespace.MyClass) Console.WriteLine(", myType) ' Get the namespace of the MyClass class. Console.WriteLine(" Namespace: {0}.", myType.Namespace) ' Get the name of the module. Console.WriteLine(" Module: {0}.", myType.Module) ' Get the fully qualified type name. Console.WriteLine(" Fully qualified name: {0}.", myType.ToString()) End Sub End Class ' The example displays the following output: ' Displaying information about MyNamespace.MyClass: ' Namespace: MyNamespace. ' Module: type_tostring.exe. ' Fully qualified name: MyNamespace.MyClass.
