TypeExtension Class
Implements a markup extension that returns a Type based on a string input.
Assembly: System.Xaml (in System.Xaml.dll)
XMLNS for XAML: Not mapped to an xmlns.
The TypeExtension type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | TypeExtension() | Initializes a new instance of the TypeExtension class. |
![]() | TypeExtension(String) | Initializes a new instance of the TypeExtension class, initializing the TypeName value based on the provided typeName string. |
![]() | TypeExtension(Type) | Initializes a new instance of the TypeExtension class, declaring the type directly. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ProvideValue | Returns an object that should be set on the property where this extension is applied. For TypeExtension , this is the Type value as evaluated for the requested type name. (Overrides MarkupExtension::ProvideValue(IServiceProvider).) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
For XAML usage information, see x:Type Markup Extension.
Note |
|---|
The {x:Type} functionality is generally for user code invocation from markup. For code that is implementing XAML support, type resolution services come from IXamlTypeResolver and are related to the implementation of the acting XAML schema context. Do not attempt to reference ProvideValue as a substitute for a IXamlTypeResolver service provider; the context you pass in might not be valid for a type resolution, and attempts to call without valid services will fail. |
WPF Usage Notes
Type references are commonly used for style, template, and databinding feature areas in WPF, when these features are referenced by XAML.
