Remarks

Derive from this type and override only those members you have to provide customization in, plus any members that are required by your program and not already implemented by TypeDelegator.

TypeDelegator derives from System.Type and implements most of the properties and methods of Type. For each member it implements, TypeDelegator automatically delegates to the corresponding member of an internal Type object, which is supplied as an argument to the constructor. This internal Type object is exposed to deriving classes by the protected typeImpl field.

Note

Some members of TypeDelegator have implementations even though the members themselves are simply inherited from Type. In these cases, the implementation is provided by an overridden protected method that has a name that ends in "Impl". For example, the implementation for all overloads of the GetMethods method is supplied by the overridden GetMethodImpl method. The implementation for inherited properties such as IsPublic and IsNestedAssembly is provided by the overridden GetAttributeFlagsImpl method.

Deriving classes can provide a public constructor that takes a Type object as its parameter and simply passes that object to the TypeDelegator(Type) constructor, or can set the internal Type object in some other way.

If a deriving class uses a member that is not implemented by TypeDelegator, it must override that member and provide an implementation. The simplest implementation is to call the corresponding member on the internal Type object exposed by the typeImpl field, but you can provide any implementation your application requires. It is not necessary to override these members if they are not used by your application or by library functions your application calls (for example, by the CodeTypeReference.CodeTypeReference(Type) constructor).
