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.
