ModuleBuilder::GetType Method (String^, Boolean, Boolean)
Gets the named type defined in the module, optionally ignoring the case of the type name. Optionally throws an exception if the type is not found.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
public: [ComVisibleAttribute(true)] virtual Type^ GetType( String^ className, bool throwOnError, bool ignoreCase ) override
Parameters
- className
-
Type:
System::String^
The name of the Type to get.
- throwOnError
-
Type:
System::Boolean
true to throw an exception if the type cannot be found; false to return null.
- ignoreCase
-
Type:
System::Boolean
If true, the search is case-insensitive. If false, the search is case-sensitive.
Return Value
Type: System::Type^The specified type, if the type is declared in this module; otherwise, null.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | Length of className is zero or is greater than 1023. |
| ArgumentNullException | className is null. |
| SecurityException | The requested Type is non-public and the caller does not have ReflectionPermission to reflect non-public objects outside the current assembly. |
| TargetInvocationException | A class initializer is invoked and throws an exception. |
| TypeLoadException | throwOnError is true and the specified type is not found. |
The throwOnError parameter only affects what happens when the type is not found. It does not affect any other exceptions that might be thrown. In particular, if the type is found but cannot be loaded, TypeLoadException can be thrown even if throwOnError is false.
Do not use this method to generate array types, pointer types, or byref types. Use the TypeBuilder::MakeArrayType, TypeBuilder::MakePointerType, and TypeBuilder::MakeByRefType methods instead.

Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1, this member no longer requires ReflectionPermission with the ReflectionPermissionFlag::ReflectionEmit flag. (See Security Issues in Reflection Emit.) To use this functionality, your application should target the .NET Framework 3.5 or later. |
