Visualizar informações de tipo

A classe System.Type é fundamental para introspecção. O Common Language Runtime cria o tipo Type carregado quando a Reflection o solicita. Você pode usar os métodos, campos, propriedades e classes aninhadas de um Type objeto para descobrir tudo sobre esse tipo.

Use Assembly.GetType ou Assembly.GetTypes para obter Type objetos de assemblies que não foram carregados, fornecendo o nome do tipo ou tipos desejados. Use Type.GetType para obter os Type objetos de um assembly que já está carregado. Use Module.GetType e Module.GetTypes para obter objetos do módulo Type.

O exemplo a seguir mostra a sintaxe necessária para obter o Assembly objeto e módulo de um 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

O exemplo a seguir demonstra a obtenção de objetos Type de um assembly carregado.

// 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

Depois de obter um Type, existem várias maneiras de descobrir informações sobre os membros desse tipo. Por exemplo, você pode descobrir sobre todos os membros do tipo chamando o Type.GetMembers método, que obtém uma matriz de MemberInfo objetos que descrevem cada um dos membros do tipo atual.

Você também pode usar métodos na Type classe para recuperar informações sobre um ou mais construtores, métodos, eventos, campos ou propriedades que você especificar por nome. Por exemplo, Type.GetConstructor encapsula um construtor específico da classe atual.

Se você tiver um Type, poderá usar a propriedade Type.Module para obter um objeto que encapsula o módulo contendo esse tipo. Use a propriedade Module.Assembly para localizar um objeto que encapsula o assembly que contém o módulo. Você pode obter o assembly que encapsula o tipo diretamente usando a Type.Assembly propriedade.

System.Type e ConstructorInfo

O exemplo a seguir mostra como listar os construtores de uma classe, nesse caso, a String classe.

// 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 {t} type");
        // 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($"{"     "}{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

Informações de Membro, Informações de Método, Informações de Campo e Informações de Propriedade

Obtenha informações sobre os métodos, propriedades, eventos e campos do tipo usando MemberInfo, MethodInfoou FieldInfoPropertyInfo objetos.

O exemplo a seguir usa MemberInfo para listar o número de membros na System.IO.File classe e usa a IsPublic propriedade para determinar a visibilidade da classe.

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;

class MyMemberInfo
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine ("\nReflection.MemberInfo");
        // Gets the Type and MemberInfo.
        Type myType = Type.GetType("System.IO.File");
        MemberInfo[] myMemberInfoArray = myType.GetMembers();
        // Gets and displays the DeclaringType method.
        Console.WriteLine($"\nThere are {myMemberInfoArray.Length} members in {myType.FullName}.");
        Console.WriteLine($"{myType.FullName}.");
        if (myType.IsPublic)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"{myType.FullName} is public.");
        }
    }
}

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Reflection

Class MyMemberInfo
    Public Shared Sub Main()
        Console.WriteLine("\nReflection.MemberInfo")
        ' Gets the Type and MemberInfo.
        Dim myType As Type = Type.GetType("System.IO.File")
        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

O exemplo a seguir investiga o tipo do membro especificado. Ele executa reflexão sobre um membro da MemberInfo classe e lista seu tipo.

// This code displays information about the GetValue method of FieldInfo.
using System;
using System.Reflection;

class MyMethodInfo
{
    public static int Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Reflection.MethodInfo");
        // Gets and displays the Type.
        Type myType = Type.GetType("System.Reflection.FieldInfo");
        // Specifies the member for which you want type information.
        MethodInfo myMethodInfo = myType.GetMethod("GetValue");
        Console.WriteLine(myType.FullName + "." + myMethodInfo.Name);
        // Gets and displays the MemberType property.
        MemberTypes myMemberTypes = myMethodInfo.MemberType;
        if (MemberTypes.Constructor == myMemberTypes)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("MemberType is of type All");
        }
        else if (MemberTypes.Custom == myMemberTypes)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("MemberType is of type Custom");
        }
        else if (MemberTypes.Event == myMemberTypes)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("MemberType is of type Event");
        }
        else if (MemberTypes.Field == myMemberTypes)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("MemberType is of type Field");
        }
        else if (MemberTypes.Method == myMemberTypes)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("MemberType is of type Method");
        }
        else if (MemberTypes.Property == myMemberTypes)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("MemberType is of type Property");
        }
        else if (MemberTypes.TypeInfo == myMemberTypes)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("MemberType is of type TypeInfo");
        }
        return 0;
    }
}
