Performs reflection on a module.

Examples
The following code examples show how to use reflection to get information about modules:
using System.Reflection;
using System;
public class Program {
public static void Main() {
Class1 c1 = new Class1();
// Show the current module.
Module m = c1.GetType().Module;
Console.WriteLine("The current module is {0}.", m.Name);
// List all modules in the assembly.
Assembly curAssembly = typeof(Program).Assembly;
Console.WriteLine("The current executing assembly is {0}.", curAssembly);
Module[] mods = curAssembly.GetModules();
foreach (Module md in mods) {
Console.WriteLine("This assembly contains the {0} module", md.Name);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
class Class1 {
}
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System
Public Class Program
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim c1 As New Class1
' Show the current module.
' Note the brackets around "[Module]" to differentiate
' it from the Visual Basic "Module" keyword.
Dim m As [Module] = c1.GetType().Module
Console.WriteLine("The current module is {0}.", m.Name)
' List all modules in the assembly.
Dim curAssembly As Assembly = GetType(Program).Assembly
Console.WriteLine("The executing assembly is {0}.", curAssembly)
Dim mods() As [Module] = curAssembly.GetModules()
For Each md As [Module] In mods
Console.WriteLine("This assembly contains the {0} module", md.Name)
Next
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
End Class
Class Class1
End Class
Remarks
A module is a portable executable file, such as type.dll or application.exe, consisting of one or more classes and interfaces. There may be multiple namespaces contained in a single module, and a namespace may span multiple modules.
One or more modules deployed as a unit compose an assembly. For information about creating an assembly with more than one module, see Multifile Assemblies.
Note that a .NET Framework module is not the same as a module in Visual Basic, which is used by a programmers to organize functions and subroutines in an application.
