ModuleHandle.ResolveTypeHandle Method

Definition

Returns a runtime type handle for a type identified by a metadata token.

Overloads

ResolveTypeHandle(Int32)

Returns a runtime type handle for the type identified by the specified metadata token.

ResolveTypeHandle(Int32, RuntimeTypeHandle[], RuntimeTypeHandle[])

Returns a runtime type handle for the type identified by the specified metadata token, specifying the generic type arguments of the type and method where the token is in scope.

ResolveTypeHandle(Int32)

Source:
RuntimeHandles.cs
Source:
RuntimeHandles.cs
Source:
RuntimeHandles.cs

Returns a runtime type handle for the type identified by the specified metadata token.

C#
public RuntimeTypeHandle ResolveTypeHandle(int typeToken);

Parameters

typeToken
Int32

A metadata token that identifies a type in the module.

Returns

A RuntimeTypeHandle for the type identified by typeToken.

Exceptions

typeToken is not a valid metadata token for a type in the current module.

-or-

typeToken is not a token for a type in the scope of the current module.

-or-

typeToken is a TypeSpec whose signature contains element type var or mvar.

The method is called on an empty type handle.

Remarks

To resolve a metadata token for a TypeSpec whose signature contains element type var or mvar, use the ResolveTypeHandle(Int32, RuntimeTypeHandle[], RuntimeTypeHandle[]) method overload, which allows you to supply the necessary context.

Note

Information about metadata tokens can be found in the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) documentation, especially "Partition II: Metadata Definition and Semantics".

ResolveTypeHandle(Int32, RuntimeTypeHandle[], RuntimeTypeHandle[])

Source:
RuntimeHandles.cs
Source:
RuntimeHandles.cs
Source:
RuntimeHandles.cs

Returns a runtime type handle for the type identified by the specified metadata token, specifying the generic type arguments of the type and method where the token is in scope.

C#
public RuntimeTypeHandle ResolveTypeHandle(int typeToken, RuntimeTypeHandle[]? typeInstantiationContext, RuntimeTypeHandle[]? methodInstantiationContext);
C#
public RuntimeTypeHandle ResolveTypeHandle(int typeToken, RuntimeTypeHandle[] typeInstantiationContext, RuntimeTypeHandle[] methodInstantiationContext);

Parameters

typeToken
Int32

A metadata token that identifies a type in the module.

typeInstantiationContext
RuntimeTypeHandle[]

An array of RuntimeTypeHandle structures representing the generic type arguments of the type where the token is in scope, or null if that type is not generic.

methodInstantiationContext
RuntimeTypeHandle[]

An array of RuntimeTypeHandle structures objects representing the generic type arguments of the method where the token is in scope, or null if that method is not generic.

Returns

A RuntimeTypeHandle for the type identified by typeToken.

Exceptions

typeToken is not a valid metadata token for a type in the current module.

-or-

typeToken is not a token for a type in the scope of the current module.

-or-

typeToken is a TypeSpec whose signature contains element type var or mvar.

The method is called on an empty type handle.

typeToken is not a valid token.
