Module.Name Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Reflection

Assembly:

System.Runtime.dll

Source:

Module.cs

Gets a String representing the name of the module with the path removed.

public:
 virtual property System::String ^ Name { System::String ^ get(); };

public virtual string Name { get; }

member this.Name : string

Public Overridable ReadOnly Property Name As String

Property Value

String

The module name with no path.

Examples

This example shows the effect of the ScopeName, FullyQualifiedName, and Name properties.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;
int main()
{
   Module^ mod = Assembly::GetExecutingAssembly()->GetModules()[ 0 ];
   Console::WriteLine( "Module Name is {0}", mod->Name );
   Console::WriteLine( "Module FullyQualifiedName is {0}", mod->FullyQualifiedName );
   Console::WriteLine( "Module ScopeName is {0}", mod->ScopeName );
}

/*
This code produces the following output:

Module Name is modname.exe
Module FullyQualifiedName is C:\Bin\modname.exe
Module ScopeName is modname.exe
*/

using System.Reflection;
using System;

 public class Simple
 {
    public static void Main ()
    {
         Module mod = typeof(Simple).Assembly.GetModules () [0];
         Console.WriteLine ("Module Name is " + mod.Name);
         Console.WriteLine ("Module FullyQualifiedName is " + mod.FullyQualifiedName);
         Console.WriteLine ("Module ScopeName is " + mod.ScopeName);
    }
 }
 /*
 This code produces output like the following:

 Module Name is modname.exe
 Module FullyQualifiedName is C:\Bin\modname.exe
 Module ScopeName is modname.exe
 */

Imports System.Reflection

Public Class Simple
    Public Shared Sub Main()
        Dim myMod As System.Reflection.Module = 
           GetType(Simple).Assembly.GetModules()(0)
        Console.WriteLine("Module Name is " + myMod.Name)
        Console.WriteLine("Module FullyQualifiedName is " _
           + myMod.FullyQualifiedName)
        Console.WriteLine("Module ScopeName is " + myMod.ScopeName)
    End Sub
    
End Class
' This code produces output like the following:
'       Module Name is modname.exe
'       Module FullyQualifiedName is C:\Bin\modname.exe
'       Module ScopeName is modname.exe

Remarks

Name is a platform-dependent string.

If the assembly for this module was loaded from a byte array then the FullyQualifiedName for the module will be: <Unknown>.

To get the name and the path, use FullyQualifiedName.
