Type Properties
Visual Studio 2010
The Type type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
Assembly | Gets the Assembly in which the type is declared. For generic types, gets the Assembly in which the generic type is defined. |
|
AssemblyQualifiedName | Gets the assembly-qualified name of the Type, which includes the name of the assembly from which the Type was loaded. |
|
Attributes | Gets the attributes associated with the Type. |
|
BaseType | Gets the type from which the current Type directly inherits. |
|
ContainsGenericParameters | Gets a value indicating whether the current Type object has type parameters that have not been replaced by specific types. |
|
DeclaringMethod | Gets a MethodBase that represents the declaring method, if the current Type represents a type parameter of a generic method. |
|
DeclaringType | Gets the type that declares the current nested type or generic type parameter. (Overrides MemberInfo::DeclaringType.) |
|
DefaultBinder | Gets a reference to the default binder, which implements internal rules for selecting the appropriate members to be called by InvokeMember. |
|
FullName | Gets the fully qualified name of the Type, including the namespace of the Type but not the assembly. |
|
GenericParameterAttributes | Gets a combination of GenericParameterAttributes flags that describe the covariance and special constraints of the current generic type parameter. |
|
GenericParameterPosition | Gets the position of the type parameter in the type parameter list of the generic type or method that declared the parameter, when the Type object represents a type parameter of a generic type or a generic method. |
|
GUID | Gets the GUID associated with the Type. |
|
HasElementType | Gets a value indicating whether the current Type encompasses or refers to another type; that is, whether the current Type is an array, a pointer, or is passed by reference. |
|
IsAbstract | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is abstract and must be overridden. |
|
IsAnsiClass | Gets a value indicating whether the string format attribute AnsiClass is selected for the Type. |
|
IsArray | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is an array. |
|
IsAutoClass | Gets a value indicating whether the string format attribute AutoClass is selected for the Type. |
|
IsAutoLayout | Gets a value indicating whether the class layout attribute AutoLayout is selected for the Type. |
|
IsByRef | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is passed by reference. |
|
IsClass | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is a class; that is, not a value type or interface. |
|
IsCOMObject | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is a COM object. |
|
IsContextful | Gets a value indicating whether the Type can be hosted in a context. |
|
IsEnum | Gets a value indicating whether the current Type represents an enumeration. |
|
IsExplicitLayout | Gets a value indicating whether the class layout attribute ExplicitLayout is selected for the Type. |
|
IsGenericParameter | Gets a value indicating whether the current Type represents a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or method. |
|
IsGenericType | Gets a value indicating whether the current type is a generic type. |
|
IsGenericTypeDefinition | Gets a value indicating whether the current Type represents a generic type definition, from which other generic types can be constructed. |
|
IsImport | Gets a value indicating whether the Type has a ComImportAttribute attribute applied, indicating that it was imported from a COM type library. |
|
IsInterface | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is an interface; that is, not a class or a value type. |
|
IsLayoutSequential | Gets a value indicating whether the class layout attribute SequentialLayout is selected for the Type. |
|
IsMarshalByRef | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is marshaled by reference. |
|
IsNested | Gets a value indicating whether the current Type object represents a type whose definition is nested inside the definition of another type. |
|
IsNestedAssembly | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is nested and visible only within its own assembly. |
|
IsNestedFamANDAssem | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is nested and visible only to classes that belong to both its own family and its own assembly. |
|
IsNestedFamily | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is nested and visible only within its own family. |
|
IsNestedFamORAssem | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is nested and visible only to classes that belong to either its own family or to its own assembly. |
|
IsNestedPrivate | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is nested and declared private. |
|
IsNestedPublic | Gets a value indicating whether a class is nested and declared public. |
|
IsNotPublic | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is not declared public. |
|
IsPointer | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is a pointer. |
|
IsPrimitive | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is one of the primitive types. |
|
IsPublic | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is declared public. |
|
IsSealed | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is declared sealed. |
|
IsSecurityCritical | Gets a value that indicates whether the current type is security-critical or security-safe-critical at the current trust level, and therefore can perform critical operations. |
|
IsSecuritySafeCritical | Gets a value that indicates whether the current type is security-safe-critical at the current trust level; that is, whether it can perform critical operations and can be accessed by transparent code. |
|
IsSecurityTransparent | Gets a value that indicates whether the current type is transparent at the current trust level, and therefore cannot perform critical operations. |
|
IsSerializable | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is serializable. |
|
IsSpecialName | Gets a value indicating whether the Type has a name that requires special handling. |
|
IsUnicodeClass | Gets a value indicating whether the string format attribute UnicodeClass is selected for the Type. |
|
IsValueType | Gets a value indicating whether the Type is a value type. |
|
IsVisible | Gets a value indicating whether the Type can be accessed by code outside the assembly. |
|
MemberType | Gets a MemberTypes value indicating that this member is a type or a nested type. (Overrides MemberInfo::MemberType.) |
|
MetadataToken | Gets a value that identifies a metadata element. (Inherited from MemberInfo.) |
|
Module | Gets the module (the DLL) in which the current Type is defined. |
|
Name | Gets the name of the current member. (Inherited from MemberInfo.) |
|
Namespace | Gets the namespace of the Type. |
|
ReflectedType | Gets the class object that was used to obtain this member. (Overrides MemberInfo::ReflectedType.) |
|
StructLayoutAttribute | Gets a StructLayoutAttribute that describes the layout of the current type. |
|
TypeHandle | Gets the handle for the current Type. |
|
TypeInitializer | Gets the initializer for the Type. |
|
UnderlyingSystemType | Indicates the type provided by the common language runtime that represents this type. |
