Syntax

'Declaration
Public Function ResolveType ( _
    metadataToken As Integer _
) As Type
public Type ResolveType(
    int metadataToken
)

Parameters

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

Return Value

Type: System.Type
The type that is identified by the specified metadata token.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentException

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

-or-

metadataToken is a TypeSpec whose signature contains 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 for a TypeSpec whose signature contains ELEMENT_TYPE_VAR or ELEMENT_TYPE_MVAR, use the ResolveType(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 type 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.
