Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Overrides Object.Equals(Object).)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode	Returns the hash code for this instance. (Overrides Object.GetHashCode().)
	GetShadowAttacher	Used for dynamically restoring of arrays of private types.
	GetTargetObject	Static function that will be used with TransferArray for deep array copy with unshadowing the real target Type objects.
	GetTargetType	Returns the target Type for a potential shadow class.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	MakeArrayType	Returns a Type object that represents an array of the specified type, with the specified number of dimensions.
	MakeByRefType	Returns a Type object that represents the specified type when it is passed as a ref parameter.
	MakePointerType	Returns a Type object that represents a pointer to the specified type.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Same	Dummy method used to transfer the arrays of the same Type. This is the failsafe implementation of the BaseShadow.ElementConverter delegate used for arrays of the same type.
	ToString	Returns a String that represents the current BaseShadow object. (Overrides Object.ToString().)
	TransferArray	Performs a deep copy of an array of one Type into a similar array of different Type.

Fields

	Name	Description
	AttachShadowName	The name of the static method in derived classes.
	m_privateObject	The PrivateObject stored in this instance.

Remarks

Public Type accessors that use the PrivateObject class to test private types must inherit from this class.

Use this as a base class to inherit from. Do not call the methods of this class directly.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
