Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] This following example demonstrates a use of the Namespace and Module properties and the ToString method of Type.
[Visual Basic] Imports System Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Namespace MyNamespace Class [MyClass] End Class '[MyClass] End Namespace 'MyNamespace Public Class Type_ToString_3 Public Shared Sub Main() Try Dim myType As Type = GetType(MyNamespace.MyClass) Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.NewLine + "Printing the details of {0}." + ControlChars.NewLine, myType) ' Get the namespace of the class Type_ToString_3. Console.WriteLine("Namespace: {0}.", myType.Namespace) ' Get the name of the module. Console.WriteLine("Module: {0}.", myType.Module) ' Get the fully qualified common language runtime namespace. Console.WriteLine("Fully qualified type: {0}.", myType.ToString()) Catch e As Exception Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + e.Message.ToString()) End Try End Sub 'Main End Class 'Type_ToString_3 [C#] using System; namespace MyNamespace { class MyClass { } } public class Type_ToString_3 { public static void Main() { try { Type myType = typeof(MyNamespace.MyClass); Console.WriteLine("\nPrinting the details of {0}.\n", myType); // Get the namespace of the class Type_ToString_3. Console.WriteLine("Namespace: {0}.", myType.Namespace); // Get the name of the module. Console.WriteLine("Module: {0}.", myType.Module); // Get the fully qualified common language runtime namespace. Console.WriteLine("Fully qualified type: {0}.", myType.ToString()); } catch(Exception e) { Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + e.Message ); } } } [C++] #using <mscorlib.dll> using namespace System; namespace MyNamespace { __gc class MyClass { }; } int main() { try { Type* myType = __typeof(MyNamespace::MyClass); Console::WriteLine(S"\nPrinting the details of {0}.\n", myType); // Get the namespace of the class MyClass. Console::WriteLine(S"Namespace: {0}.", myType->Namespace); // Get the name of the module. Console::WriteLine(S"Module: {0}.", myType->Module); // Get the fully qualified common language runtime namespace. Console::WriteLine(S"Fully qualified type: {0}.", myType); } catch (Exception* e) { Console::WriteLine(S"Exception: {0}", e->Message); } }
