TypeProvider.GetType Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Compiler

Assembly:

System.Workflow.ComponentModel.dll

Gets the Type from the qualified type name passed by searching through the assembly references and code compile units that are added.

Overloads

GetType(String)	Gets the type from the set of assemblies added to the TypeProvider using AddAssembly(Assembly), AddAssemblyReference(String), or AddCodeCompileUnit(CodeCompileUnit).
GetType(String, Boolean)	Gets the type from the set of assemblies added to the TypeProvider using AddAssembly(Assembly), AddAssemblyReference(String), or AddCodeCompileUnit(CodeCompileUnit).

GetType(String)

Gets the type from the set of assemblies added to the TypeProvider using AddAssembly(Assembly), AddAssemblyReference(String), or AddCodeCompileUnit(CodeCompileUnit).

public:
 virtual Type ^ GetType(System::String ^ name);

public Type GetType (string name);

override this.GetType : string -> Type

Public Function GetType (name As String) As Type

Parameters

name

String

The type name.

Returns

Type

The requested Type.

Implements

GetType(String)

ArgumentNullException

name is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic)

If the name is not resolvable within the cache of assemblies and compiled units of this instance, a null reference (Visual Basic Nothing) is returned. Invoking this overload is the same as invoking the two parameter overloads with the value of the parameter throwOnError set to true.

GetType(String, Boolean)

Gets the type from the set of assemblies added to the TypeProvider using AddAssembly(Assembly), AddAssemblyReference(String), or AddCodeCompileUnit(CodeCompileUnit).

public:
 virtual Type ^ GetType(System::String ^ name, bool throwOnError);

public Type GetType (string name, bool throwOnError);

override this.GetType : string * bool -> Type

Public Function GetType (name As String, throwOnError As Boolean) As Type

Parameters

name

String

throwOnError

Boolean

A value that indicates whether to throw an exception if name is not resolvable.

Implements

GetType(String, Boolean)

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

Remarks

If the name is not resolvable within the cache of assemblies and compiled units of this instance, a null reference (Nothing) is returned; in the case that throwOnError is false.
