Type::Namespace Property
Gets the namespace of the Type.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::StringThe namespace of the Type; nullptr if the current instance has no namespace or represents a generic parameter.
Implements
_Type::NamespaceA namespace is a logical design-time naming convenience, used mainly to define scope in an application and organize classes and other types in a single hierarchical structure. From the viewpoint of the runtime, there are no namespaces.
If the current Type represents a constructed generic type, this property returns the namespace that contains the generic type definition. Similarly, if the current Type represents a generic parameter T, this property returns the namespace that contains the generic type definition that defines T.
If the current Type object represents a generic parameter, this property returns nullptr.
This following example demonstrates a use of the Namespace and Module properties and the ToString method of Type.
using namespace System; namespace MyNamespace { ref class MyClass{}; } int main() { try { Type^ myType = MyNamespace::MyClass::typeid; Console::WriteLine( "\nPrinting the details of {0}.\n", myType ); // Get the namespace of the class MyClass. 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 ); } catch ( Exception^ e ) { Console::WriteLine( "Exception: {0}", e->Message ); } }
