ReflectionContext Class
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Represents a context that can provide reflection objects.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The ReflectionContext type exposes the following members.
| 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 the Object 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.) |
![]() | GetTypeForObject | Gets the representation of the type of the specified object in this reflection context. |
![]() | MapAssembly | Gets the representation, in this reflection context, of an assembly that is represented by an object from another reflection context. |
![]() | MapType | Gets the representation, in this reflection context, of a type represented by an object from another reflection context. |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The purpose of this class is to provide a way for reflection code to be made aware when reflection objects originate in a context other than the default reflection context, so that operations on those objects can use that context. For example, reflection objects that originate with a CustomReflectionContext object should be compared only with reflection objects that have the same origin. For more information, see the CustomReflectionContext reference page.
