bool IsValueType { get; }

Property Value

bool

Namespace

Gets the namespace the type resides in.

string? Namespace { get; }

Property Value

string

Scope

Methods

Resolve()

Resolves the reference to a type definition.

TypeDefinition? Resolve()

Returns

TypeDefinition

The resolved type definition, or null if the type could not be resolved.

Remarks

This method can only be invoked if the reference was added to a module.

ToTypeDefOrRef()

Transforms the type descriptor to an instance of a ITypeDefOrRef, which can be referenced by a metadata token.

ITypeDefOrRef ToTypeDefOrRef()

Returns

ITypeDefOrRef

The constructed TypeDefOrRef instance.

ToTypeSignature()

Transforms the type descriptor to an instance of a TypeSignature, which can be used in blob signatures.

TypeSignature ToTypeSignature()

Returns

TypeSignature

The constructed type signature instance.
