Module.ResolveField Method (Int32)

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

Returns the field identified by the specified metadata token.

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function ResolveField ( _
    metadataToken As Integer _
) As FieldInfo
public FieldInfo ResolveField(
    int metadataToken
)

Parameters

  • metadataToken
    Type: System.Int32
    A metadata token that identifies a field in the module.

Return Value

Type: System.Reflection.FieldInfo
A FieldInfo object representing the field that is identified by the specified metadata token.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

metadataToken is not a token for a field in the scope of the current module.

-or-

metadataToken identifies a field whose parent TypeSpec has a signature containing element type var (a type parameter of a generic type) or mvar (a type parameter of a generic method).

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

metadataToken is not a valid token in the scope of the current module.

Remarks

To resolve a metadata token that identifies a field whose parent TypeSpec has a signature containing element type ELEMENT_TYPE_VAR or ELEMENT_TYPE_MVAR, use the ResolveField(Int32, array<Type[], array<Type[]) method overload, which allows you to supply the necessary context. That is, when you are resolving a metadata token for a field that depends on the generic type parameters of the generic type and/or the generic method in which the token is embedded, you must use the overload that allows you to supply those type parameters.

NoteNote:

Information about metadata tokens can be found in the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) documentation, especially "Partition II: Metadata Definition and Semantics". The documentation is available online; see ECMA C# and Common Language Infrastructure Standards on MSDN and Standard ECMA-335 - Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) on the ECMA Web site.

For code that demonstrates token resolution using the generic context (that is, the generic type parameters of the generic type and/or the generic method in which the token is embedded) see the ResolveMethod(Int32, array<Type[], array<Type[]) method.
