Types View (System_Runtime)

Stores .NET type information for managed constructs, such as classes, values, enumerations, delegates, and interfaces.

Fields

The following table lists the fields in the Types view.

Column	Type	Required	Description
Id	bigint	yes	The identifier for the type.
Access	smallint	yes	An enumeration value between 0 and 6 that describes the access restrictions for the type. These numeric values are equivalent to compiler, private, family and assembly, assembly, family, family or assembly, and public, respectively.
Attributes	nvarchar(max)		The custom attributes for the type.
BaseClass	bigint		The base class for the type. References the [System_Runtime].[TypeSignatures] view.
ContainingClass	bigint		The class that contains the type. References the [System_Runtime].[Types] view.
Documentation	nvarchar(max)		The XML Document fragment for the type.
DocumentPart	bigint		A reference to optional source line information.
Folder	int	yes	The “Oslo” repository Folder associated with the type. References the [Repository.Item].[Folders] view. (Default = 100)
InitializeTypeBeforeFields	bit	yes	A bit flag that specifies that the type requires initialization before its fields are initialized. This supports static method calls. (Default = 0)
IsAbstract	bit	yes	A bit flag that indicates that the type is abstract, meaning that no direct instances of the type are possible. (Default = 0)
IsRuntimeSpecialName	bit	yes	A bit flag that specifies that the type name is special and has a reserved use by the common language runtime (CLR). (Default = 0)
IsSealed	bit	yes	A bit flag that specifies that the type is sealed, meaning that other types cannot derive from the type. (Default = 0)
IsSerializable	bit	yes	A bit flag that specifies that the type is serializable. (Default = 0)
IsToolSpecialName	bit	yes	A bit flag that specifies that the type name is special and has a reserved use by tools other than the common language runtime (CLR). (Default = 0)
Kind	smallint	yes	An enumeration value between 1 and 6 that describes the kind of the type. These numeric values are equivalent to class, value, enumeration, delegate, interface, and special, respectively.
Layout	smallint	yes	An enumeration value between 0 and 2 that guides the loader in constructing the layout of the type. These numeric values are equivalent to automatic, sequential, and explicit, respectively. (Default = 0)
Module	bigint	yes	The module that contains the type. References the [System_Runtime].[Modules] view.
Name	nvarchar(max)	yes	The name of the type.
Namespace	bigint		The namespace that contains the type. References the [System_Runtime].[Namespaces] view.
MetadataToken	int	yes	A typed identifier of a metadata object, represented as an index into a metadata data structure.
