The Module type exposes the following members.

	Name	Description
	Assembly	Gets the appropriate Assembly for this instance of Module.
	CustomAttributes	Gets a collection that contains this module's custom attributes.
	FullyQualifiedName	Gets a string representing the fully qualified name and path to this module.
	MetadataToken	Gets a token that identifies the module in metadata.
	Name	Gets the name of the module with the path removed.

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether this module and the specified object are equal. (Overrides Object::Equals(Object).)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetCustomAttributes(Boolean)	Returns all custom attributes.
	GetCustomAttributes(Type, Boolean)	Returns custom attributes of the specified type.
	GetField(String)	Returns the global field that has the specified name.
	GetField(String, BindingFlags)	Returns the global field that has the specified name and binding attributes.
	GetFields()	Returns the global fields defined on the module.
	GetFields(BindingFlags)	Returns the global fields that are defined on the module and that match the specified binding flags.
	GetHashCode	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Overrides Object::GetHashCode().)
	GetMethod(String)	Returns the global method that has the specified name.
	GetMethod(String, array<Type>)	Returns the global method that matches the specified name and parameter types.
	GetMethod(String, BindingFlags, Binder, CallingConventions, array<Type>, array<ParameterModifier>)	Returns the global method that has the specified name, binding information, calling convention, and parameter types and modifiers.
	GetMethodImpl	In a derived class, provides the implementation for the GetMethod method overloads.
	GetMethods()	Returns the global methods defined on the module.
	GetMethods(BindingFlags)	Returns the global methods that are defined on the module and that match the specified binding flags.
	GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType(String)	Returns the specified type, performing a case-sensitive search.
	GetType(String, Boolean)	Returns the specified type, searching the module with the specified case sensitivity.
	GetType(String, Boolean, Boolean)	Returns the specified type, specifying whether to make a case-sensitive search of the module and whether to throw an exception if the type cannot be found.
	GetTypes	Returns all the types defined within this module.
	IsDefined	Determines if the specified attribute type is applied to this module.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	ResolveMethod(Int32)	Returns the method or constructor that is identified by the specified metadata token.
	ResolveMethod(Int32, array<Type>, array<Type>)	Returns the method or constructor that is identified by the specified metadata token, in the context defined by the specified generic type parameters.
	ResolveString	Returns the string that is identified by the specified metadata token.
	ResolveType(Int32)	Returns the type that is identified by the specified metadata token.
	ResolveType(Int32, array<Type>, array<Type>)	Returns the type that is identified by the specified metadata token, in the context defined by the specified generic type parameters.
	ToString	Returns the name of the module. (Overrides Object::ToString().)

	Name	Description
	GetCustomAttribute(Type)	Overloaded. Retrieves a custom attribute of a specified type that is applied to a specified module. (Defined by CustomAttributeExtensions.)
	GetCustomAttribute<T>()	Overloaded. Retrieves a custom attribute of a specified type that is applied to a specified module. (Defined by CustomAttributeExtensions.)
	GetCustomAttributes()	Overloaded. Retrieves a collection of custom attributes that are applied to a specified module. (Defined by CustomAttributeExtensions.)
	GetCustomAttributes(Type)	Overloaded. Retrieves a collection of custom attributes of a specified type that are applied to a specified module. (Defined by CustomAttributeExtensions.)
	GetCustomAttributes<T>()	Overloaded. Retrieves a collection of custom attributes of a specified type that are applied to a specified module. (Defined by CustomAttributeExtensions.)
	IsDefined	Indicates whether custom attributes of a specified type are applied to a specified module. (Defined by CustomAttributeExtensions.)

A module is a portable executable file, such as type.dll or application.exe, consisting of one or more classes and interfaces. There may be multiple namespaces contained in a single module, and a namespace may span multiple modules.

Note:
A .NET Framework module is not the same as a module in Visual Basic, which is used by a programmer to organize functions and subroutines in an application.
