FieldBuilder.ReflectedType Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Reflection.Emit

Assembly:

System.Reflection.Emit.dll

Indicates the reference to the Type object from which this object was obtained. This property is read-only.

public:
 virtual property Type ^ ReflectedType { Type ^ get(); };

public override Type? ReflectedType { get; }

member this.ReflectedType : Type

Public Overrides ReadOnly Property ReflectedType As Type

Property Value

Type

A reference to the Type object from which this instance was obtained.

Remarks

A FieldBuilder object represents a field of a particular class. In order to obtain a FieldBuilder object, the Type object that represents the class that supports the field is queried. This property holds a reference to that Type object.

The following code sample illustrates the use of ReflectedType.
