System.Reflection.Module.ResolveMember Method

Returns the type or member identified by the specified metadata token, in the context defined by the specified generic type parameters.

Syntax

public virtual MemberInfo ResolveMember (int metadataToken, Type[] genericTypeArguments, Type[] genericMethodArguments)

Parameters

metadataToken
A metadata token that identifies a type or member in the module.
genericTypeArguments
An array of Type objects representing the generic type arguments of the type where the token is in scope, or null if that type is not generic.
genericMethodArguments
An array of Type objects representing the generic type arguments of the method where the token is in scope, or null if that method is not generic.

Returns

A System.Reflection.MemberInfo object representing the type or member that is identified by the specified metadata token.

Remarks

Use the Type.GetGenericArguments method on the type where metadataToken is in scope to obtain an array of generic type arguments for genericTypeArguments. Use the MethodInfo.GetGenericArguments method on the method where metadataToken is in scope to obtain an array of generic type arguments for genericTypeArguments. It is always safe to provide these arguments, even when they are not needed.

Note:

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 tp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=99212 on MSDN and tp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=65552 on the ECMA Web site.

For code that demonstrates token resolution using the generic context (that is, the generic type parameters of the generic type and/or the generic method in which the token is embedded) see the Module.ResolveMethod(int, Type[], Type[]) method.
