GetType(String)
- Source:
- ModuleBuilder.cs
Gets the named type defined in the module.
public:
override Type ^ GetType(System::String ^ className);[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.RequiresUnreferencedCode("Types might be removed by trimming. If the type name is a string literal, consider using Type.GetType instead.")]
public override Type? GetType(string className);[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.RequiresUnreferencedCode("Types might be removed")]
public override Type? GetType(string className);public override Type? GetType(string className);public override Type GetType(string className);[System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(true)]
public override Type GetType(string className);[<System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.RequiresUnreferencedCode("Types might be removed by trimming. If the type name is a string literal, consider using Type.GetType instead.")>]
override this.GetType : string -> Type[<System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.RequiresUnreferencedCode("Types might be removed")>]
override this.GetType : string -> Typeoverride this.GetType : string -> Type[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(true)>]
override this.GetType : string -> TypePublic Overrides Function GetType (className As String) As TypeParameters
Returns
The requested type, if the type is defined in this module; otherwise, null.
- Attributes
Exceptions
Length of className is zero or is greater than 1023.
className is null.
The requested Type is non-public and the caller does not have ReflectionPermission to reflect non-public objects outside the current assembly.
A class initializer is invoked and throws an exception.
An error is encountered while loading the Type.
Remarks
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.

If true, the search is case-insensitive. If false, the search is case-sensitive.
Returns
The requested type, if the type is defined in this module; otherwise, null.

override this.GetType : string * bool * bool -> TypePublic Overrides Function GetType (className As String, throwOnError As Boolean, ignoreCase As Boolean) As TypeParameters
- throwOnError
- Boolean
true to throw an exception if the type cannot be found; false to return null.
- ignoreCase
- Boolean
If true, the search is case-insensitive. If false, the search is case-sensitive.
Returns
The specified type, if the type is declared in this module; otherwise, null.
- Attributes
Exceptions
Length of className is zero or is greater than 1023.
className is null.
The requested Type is non-public and the caller does not have ReflectionPermission to reflect non-public objects outside the current assembly.
A class initializer is invoked and throws an exception.
throwOnError is true and the specified type is not found.
Remarks
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.
