IType Interface

Namespace

Kampute.DocToolkit.Metadata

Assembly

Kampute.DocToolkit.dll

Definition

Define a contract for accessing type-specific metadata.

public interface IType : IMember, IMetadataAdapter<Type>, IEquatable<IType>

Remarks

This interface abstracts common type metadata access, allowing consistent operations regardless of whether the type was loaded via Common Language Runtime (CLR) or Metadata Load Context (MLC).

Properties

BaseType	Gets the base type of this type.
BaseTypeHierarchy	Gets the hierarchy of base types, starting from the root base type down to the immediate base type.
DeclaringTypeHierarchy	Gets the hierarchy of declaring types, starting from the outermost declaring type down to the immediate declaring type.
ExtensionMethods	Gets extension methods of the type.
ExtensionProperties	Gets extension properties of the type.
FullName	Gets the full name of the type.
IsEnum	Gets a value indicating whether the type is an enumeration.
IsGenericType	Gets a value indicating whether the type is a generic type.
IsInterface	Gets a value indicating whether the type is an interface.
IsNested	Gets a value indicating whether the type is nested.
IsPrimitive	Gets a value indicating whether the type is a primitive type.
IsValueType	Gets a value indicating whether the type is a value type.
ParametricSignature	Gets the signature of the type when used as a parameter or return type.
Signature	Gets the general signature of the type.

Methods

IsAssignableFrom(IType)	Determines whether the instances of the specified type can be assigned to variables of the current type.
ResolveMember(string)	Resolves a type member based on the specified XML documentation cref string.

Extension Methods

GetInheritedMember(this IMember)	Retrieves the member that this member directly inherits from.
GetMemberDefinition(this IMember)	Retrieves the definition of the member, resolving any constructed or decorated forms to their underlying definitions.
GetMembers(this IType)	Gets all members directly declared by the type, excluding nested types.
GetMembersIncludingNested(this IType)	Gets all members of the type, including its nested types and their members at all nesting levels.
TryGetOwnTypeParameters(this IMember, out IEnumerable<ITypeParameter>)	Attempts to get the type parameters declared directly by the specified member if it is generic.
