Reflection : Type « Reflection « C# / CSharp Tutorial

System.Type is derived from an abstract class called System.Reflection.MemberInfo.

MemberInfo defines the following abstract, read-only properties:

Return Type	Method Name	Meanings
Type	DeclaringType	The type of the class or interface in which the member is declared.
MemberTypes	MemberType	The type of the member.
string	Name	The name of the type.
Type	ReflectedType	The type of the object being reflected.

MemberTypes is an enumeration:

19.1.Type
	19.1.1.	Reflection
	19.1.2.	type identity
	19.1.3.	Commonly used methods defined by Type:
	19.1.4.	A second form of GetMethods() lets you specify various flags that filter the methods that are retrieved.
	19.1.5.	Obtain type information using the Type.GetType method(Case sensitive, return null if not found).

	19.1.24.	Get the type associated with the CLSID and specify whether to throw an exception if an error occurs while loading the type.
