member this.ResolutionScope : System.Reflection.Metadata.EntityHandle

Public ReadOnly Property ResolutionScope As EntityHandle

Property Value

EntityHandle

The resolution scope in which the target type is uniquely defined.

Remarks

Resolution scope can be one of the following handles:

• TypeReferenceHandle of the enclosing type, if the target type is a nested type.

• ModuleReferenceHandle, if the target type is defined in another module within the same assembly as this one.

• ModuleDefinition, if the target type is defined in the current module. This should not occur in a CLI compressed metadata module.

• AssemblyReferenceHandle, if the target type is defined in a different assembly from the current module.

• Nil handle if the target type must be resolved by searching the ExportedTypes for a matching Namespace and Name.
