Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration

Public Function GetTypeToken ( _
    type As Type _
) As TypeToken

[SecuritySafeCriticalAttribute]
public TypeToken GetTypeToken(
    Type type
)

Parameters

  • type
    Type: System.Type
    The type object that represents the class type.

Return Value

Type: System.Reflection.Emit.TypeToken
The token used to identify the given type within this module.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

type is a ByRef type.
ArgumentNullException

type is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
InvalidOperationException

This is a non-transient module that references a transient module.

Remarks

Tokens are used in Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instructions to identify objects. Tokens are relative to the module in which they are contained. For example, the token value for String is likely to be different from module to module. When GetTypeToken is invoked, a reference is added to the module. The reference becomes a permanent part of the module; multiple calls with the same argument have no additional effect.
