Parameters
- metadataToken
-
Type:
System::Int32
A metadata token that identifies a type in the module.
Return Value
Type: System::Type^A Type object representing the type that is identified by the specified metadata token.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | metadataToken is not a token for a type in the scope of the current module. -or- metadataToken is a TypeSpec whose signature contains element type var (a type parameter of a generic type) or mvar (a type parameter of a generic method). |
| ArgumentOutOfRangeException | metadataToken is not a valid token in the scope of the current module. |
To resolve a metadata token for a TypeSpec whose signature contains ELEMENT_TYPE_VAR or ELEMENT_TYPE_MVAR, use the ResolveType(Int32, array<Type^>^, array<Type^>^) method overload, which allows you to supply the necessary context. That is, when you are resolving a metadata token for a type that depends on the generic type parameters of the generic type and/or the generic method in which the token is embedded, you must use the overload that allows you to supply those type parameters.

Information about metadata tokens can be found in the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) documentation, especially "Partition II: Metadata Definition and Semantics". The documentation is available online; see ECMA C# and Common Language Infrastructure Standards on MSDN and Standard ECMA-335 - Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) on the ECMA Web site. |
