Assembly
In this chapter you will learn:
Type from Assembly
You can retrieve a Type by name.
If you have a reference to its Assembly, call Assembly.GetType.
using System;/* j av a2 s .c o m*/
using System.Reflection;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class MainClass
{
static void Main()
{
Type t = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetType("System.String");
Console.WriteLine(t);
}
}
Assembly qualified name
You can obtain a type through its assembly qualified name.
The assembly implicitly loads as if you called Assembly.Load(string):
using System;/*from j a va2 s. c om*/
using System.Reflection;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class MainClass
{
static void Main()
{
Type t = Type.GetType("System.Int32, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, " +
"Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089");
}
}
Examining a Currently Running Process for Type Information
using System;/*from ja v a 2 s . c om*/
using System.Reflection;
using System.Diagnostics;
class AssemType {
public static void Main(string[] args) {
Process p = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
string assemblyName = p.ProcessName + ".exe";
Console.WriteLine("Examining : {0}", assemblyName);
Assembly a = Assembly.LoadFrom(assemblyName);
Type[] types = a.GetTypes();
foreach(Type t in types)
{
Console.WriteLine("\nType : {0}",t.FullName);
Console.WriteLine("\tBase class: {0}",t.BaseType.FullName);
}
}
}
