Module::ResolveField Method (Int32)
Returns the field identified by the specified metadata token.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- metadataToken
-
Type:
System::Int32
A metadata token that identifies a field in the module.
Return Value
Type: System.Reflection::FieldInfo^A FieldInfo object representing the field that is identified by the specified metadata token.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | metadataToken is not a token for a field in the scope of the current module. -or- metadataToken identifies a field whose parent TypeSpec has a signature containing 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 that identifies a field whose parent TypeSpec has a signature containing element type ELEMENT_TYPE_VAR or ELEMENT_TYPE_MVAR, use the ResolveField(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 field 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. |
For code that demonstrates token resolution using the generic context (that is, the generic type parameters of the generic type and/or the generic method in which the token is embedded) see the ResolveMethod(Int32, array<Type^>^, array<Type^>^) method.
