Remarks
This method is for access to managed classes from unmanaged code, and should not be called from managed code.
The GetType methods get the Type object that represents the specified type.
GetType(String, Boolean, Boolean)
Provides COM objects with version-independent access to the GetType(String, Boolean, Boolean) method.
public:
Type ^ GetType(System::String ^ name, bool throwOnError, bool ignoreCase);public Type GetType (string name, bool throwOnError, bool ignoreCase);abstract member GetType : string * bool * bool -> TypePublic Function GetType (name As String, throwOnError As Boolean, ignoreCase As Boolean) As TypeParameters
- name
- String
The full name of the type.
- throwOnError
- Boolean
true to throw an exception if the type is not found; false to return null.
- ignoreCase
- Boolean
true to ignore the case of the type name; otherwise, false.
Returns
A Type object that represents the specified class.
Remarks
This method is for access to managed classes from unmanaged code, and should not be called from managed code.
The GetType method gets the Type object with the specified name in the assembly instance, with the options of ignoring the case, and of throwing an exception if the type is not found.
