public:
 System::Data::Metadata::Edm::EdmType ^ GetType(System::String ^ name, System::String ^ namespaceName, System::Data::Metadata::Edm::DataSpace dataSpace);

public System.Data.Metadata.Edm.EdmType GetType (string name, string namespaceName, System.Data.Metadata.Edm.DataSpace dataSpace);

override this.GetType : string * string * System.Data.Metadata.Edm.DataSpace -> System.Data.Metadata.Edm.EdmType

Public Function GetType (name As String, namespaceName As String, dataSpace As DataSpace) As EdmType

Parameters
