Examples

This example displays the reflected type of a nested class.

   {

   };

};

int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "Reflected type of MyClassB is {0}", MyClassA::MyClassB::typeid->ReflectedType );
   //Outputs MyClassA, the enclosing type.
}

using System;
using System.Reflection;

public abstract class MyClassA
{

    public abstract class MyClassB
    {
    }

    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Reflected type of MyClassB is {0}",
            typeof(MyClassB).ReflectedType); //outputs MyClassA, the enclosing class
    }
}

module MyModule =
    type [<AbstractClass>] MyClass() = class end

    printfn $"Reflected type of MyClass is {typeof<MyClass>.ReflectedType}" // Outputs MyModule, the enclosing module.

Imports System.Reflection

Public MustInherit Class MyClassA

    Public MustInherit Class MyClassB

    End Class

    Public Shared Sub Main()
        Console.WriteLine("Reflected type of MyClassB is {0}", _
           GetType(MyClassB).ReflectedType)
    'Outputs MyClassA, the enclosing type.
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

For Type objects, the value of this property is always the same as the value of the DeclaringType property.
