    Inherits AccessControlledMetadataObject
'Usage
Dim instance As TypeDescriptor

public sealed class TypeDescriptor : AccessControlledMetadataObject

Remarks

A primitive field is represented by a single TypeDescriptor that tells what its type is. A more complicated type, such as a class, is represented by a single TypeDescriptor that refers to several child type descriptors. This continues recursively as needed to describe a complex data type.

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.
