Namespace:  System.Reflection.Emit
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function GetNestedType ( _
    name As String, _
    bindingAttr As BindingFlags _
) As Type
public override Type GetNestedType(
    string name,
    BindingFlags bindingAttr
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: System.Type
The nested type that matches the specified requirements, if found; otherwise, nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Exceptions

Exception Condition
NotSupportedException

This method is not implemented for incomplete types.

Remarks

This method is not supported for incomplete types. Get the completed type by calling CreateType, and use reflection on the completed type.

If this type is complete, for example, if CreateType has been called on this type, but there are nested types that are not complete, then GetNestedTypes will only return those nested types for which CreateType has been called.
