Parameters

className

The name of the type to locate. The name must be fully qualified with the namespace.

ignoreCase

true for case-insensitive search; otherwise, false.

Returns

A Type object representing the given type, if the type is in this module; otherwise, null.

Remarks

Note:

If the type has been forwarded to another assembly, it is still returned by this method. For information on type forwarding, see Type Forwarding in the Common Language Runtime.

A type can be retrieved from a specific module using Module.GetType(string, bool). Calling Module.GetType(string, bool) on the module that contains the manifest will not search the entire assembly. To retrieve a type from an assembly, regardless of which module it is in, you must call erload:System.Reflection.Assembly.GetType.
