TypeBuilder.GetNestedTypes Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Returns the public and non-public nested types that are declared or inherited by this type.

Namespace:  System.Reflection.Emit
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Overrides Function GetNestedTypes ( _
    bindingAttr As BindingFlags _
) As Type()

public override Type[] GetNestedTypes(
    BindingFlags bindingAttr
)

Parameters

Return Value

Type: array<System.Type[]
An array of types nested within the current Type that match the specified binding constraints.
An empty array of type Type, if no types are nested within the current Type, or if none of the nested types match the binding constraints.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
NotSupportedException

This method is not implemented for incomplete types.

Remarks

This method is not supported for incomplete types. Get the completed type by calling CreateType, and use reflection on the completed type.

If this type is complete, for example, if CreateType has been called on this type, but there are nested types that are not complete, then GetNestedTypes will only return those nested types for which CreateType has been called.
