Ver información de tipo

La clase System.Type es fundamental para la reflexión. Common Language Runtime crea el Type para un tipo cargado cuando la reflexión la solicita. Puede usar los métodos, campos, propiedades y clases anidadas de un objeto Type para averiguar todo sobre ese tipo.

Use Assembly.GetType o Assembly.GetTypes para obtener Type objetos de ensamblados que no se han cargado, pasando el nombre del tipo o los tipos que desee. Use Type.GetType para obtener los objetos Type de un ensamblado que ya está cargado. Use Module.GetType y Module.GetTypes para obtener objetos Type de módulo.

Nota:

Si quiere examinar y manipular tipos y métodos genéricos, vea la información adicional proporcionada en Reflexión y tipos genéricos y Cómo: Examinar y crear instancias de tipos genéricos mediante la reflexión.

En el ejemplo siguiente se muestra la sintaxis necesaria para obtener el objeto Assembly y el módulo de un ensamblado.

// Gets the mscorlib assembly in which the object is defined.
Assembly^ a = Object::typeid->Module->Assembly;
// Gets the mscorlib assembly in which the object is defined.
Assembly a = typeof(object).Module.Assembly;
' Gets the mscorlib assembly in which the object is defined.
Dim a As Assembly = GetType(Object).Module.Assembly

En el ejemplo siguiente se muestra cómo obtener Type objetos de un ensamblado cargado.

// Loads an assembly using its file name.
Assembly^ a = Assembly::LoadFrom("MyExe.exe");
// Gets the type names from the assembly.
array<Type^>^ types2 = a->GetTypes();
for each (Type^ t in types2)
{
    Console::WriteLine(t->FullName);
}
// Loads an assembly using its file name.
Assembly a = Assembly.LoadFrom("MyExe.exe");
// Gets the type names from the assembly.
Type[] types2 = a.GetTypes();
foreach (Type t in types2)
{
    Console.WriteLine(t.FullName);
}
' Loads an assembly using its file name.
Dim a As Assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom("MyExe.exe")
' Gets the type names from the assembly.
Dim types2() As Type = a.GetTypes()
For Each t As Type In types2
    Console.WriteLine(t.FullName)
Next t

Una vez que obtenga un Type, hay muchas maneras de descubrir información sobre los miembros de ese tipo. Por ejemplo, puede obtener información sobre todos los miembros del tipo. Para ello, llame al método Type.GetMembers, que obtiene una matriz de objetos MemberInfo que describen cada uno de los miembros del tipo actual.

También puede usar métodos en la clase Type para recuperar información sobre uno o varios constructores, métodos, eventos, campos o propiedades que especifique por nombre. Por ejemplo, Type.GetConstructor encapsula un constructor específico de la clase actual.

Si tiene un Type, puede usar la propiedad Type.Module para obtener un objeto que encapsula el módulo que contiene ese tipo. Use la propiedad Module.Assembly para buscar un objeto que encapsule el ensamblado que contiene el módulo. Puede obtener el ensamblado que encapsula el tipo directamente mediante la propiedad Type.Assembly.

System.Type y ConstructorInfo

En el ejemplo siguiente se muestra cómo enumerar los constructores de una clase, en este caso, la clase String.

// This program lists all the public constructors
// of the System.String class.
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;

class ListMembers
{
public:
    static void Main()
    {
        Type^ t = System::String::typeid;
        Console::WriteLine ("Listing all the public constructors of the {0} type", t);
        // Constructors.
        array<ConstructorInfo^>^ ci = t->GetConstructors(BindingFlags::Public | BindingFlags::Instance);
        Console::WriteLine ("//Constructors");
        PrintMembers(ci);
    }

    static void PrintMembers(array<MemberInfo^>^ ms)
    {
        for each (MemberInfo^ m in ms)
        {
            Console::WriteLine ("{0}{1}", "     ", m);
        }
        Console::WriteLine();
    }
};

int main()
{
    ListMembers::Main();
}
// This program lists all the public constructors
// of the System.String class.
using System;
using System.Reflection;

class ListMembers
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Type t = typeof(System.String);
        Console.WriteLine("Listing all the public constructors of the {0} type", t);
        // Constructors.
        ConstructorInfo[] ci = t.GetConstructors(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
        Console.WriteLine("//Constructors");
        PrintMembers(ci);
    }

    public static void PrintMembers(MemberInfo[] ms)
    {
        foreach (MemberInfo m in ms)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}", "     ", m);
        }
        Console.WriteLine();
    }
}
' This program lists all the public constructors
' of the System.String class.

Imports System.Reflection

Class ListMembers
    Public Shared Sub Main()
        Dim t As Type = GetType(String)
        Console.WriteLine("Listing all the public constructors of the {0} type", t)
        ' Constructors.
        Dim ci As ConstructorInfo() = t.GetConstructors((BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.Instance))
        Console.WriteLine("//Constructors")
        PrintMembers(ci)
    End Sub
    Public Shared Sub PrintMembers(ms() As MemberInfo)
        Dim m As MemberInfo
        For Each m In ms
            Console.WriteLine("{0}{1}", "     ", m)
        Next m
        Console.WriteLine()
    End Sub
End Class

MemberInfo, MethodInfo, FieldInfo y PropertyInfo

Obtenga información sobre los métodos, las propiedades, los eventos y los campos del tipo mediante los objetos MemberInfo, MethodInfo, FieldInfo o PropertyInfo.

En el ejemplo siguiente se usa MemberInfo para enumerar el número de miembros de la clase System.IO.File y se usa la propiedad IsPublic para determinar la visibilidad de la clase.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::IO;
using namespace System::Reflection;

public ref class MyMemberInfo
{
public:
    static void Main()
    {
        Console::WriteLine ("\nReflection.MemberInfo");
        // Gets the Type and MemberInfo.
        Type^ myType = Type::GetType("System.IO.File");
        array<MemberInfo^>^ myMemberInfoArray = myType->GetMembers();
        // Gets and displays the DeclaringType method.
        Console::WriteLine("\nThere are {0} members in {1}.",
            myMemberInfoArray->Length, myType->FullName);
        Console::WriteLine("{0}.", myType->FullName);
        if (myType->IsPublic)
        {
            Console::WriteLine("{0} is public.", myType->FullName);
        }
    }
};

int main()

using System;

        // Gets the Type and MemberInfo.
        Type myType = Type.GetType("System.IO.File");
        MemberInfo[] myMemberInfoArray = myType.GetMembers();
        // Gets and displays the DeclaringType method.
        Console.WriteLine("\nThere are {0} members in {1}.",

        }
    }

        Dim myMemberInfoArray() As MemberInfo = myType.GetMembers()
        ' Gets and displays the DeclaringType method.
        Console.WriteLine("\nThere are {0} members in {1}.",
            myMemberInfoArray.Length, myType.FullName)
        Console.WriteLine("{0}.", myType.FullName)
        If myType.IsPublic
            Console.WriteLine("{0} is public.", myType.FullName)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

En el ejemplo siguiente se investiga el tipo del miembro especificado. Realiza la reflexión en un miembro de la clase MemberInfo y enumera su tipo.
