Class Reflection

Contains a series of functions that complement the reflection capabilities of C#, to conveniently allow for things like iterating over all types that a given type can be casted to.

Inheritance

System.Object

Reflection

Inherited Members

System.Object.Equals(System.Object)

System.Object.Equals(System.Object, System.Object)

Namespace: GoRogue

Assembly: GoRogue.dll

Syntax

public static class Reflection

Methods

GetRuntimeTypeTree(Object)

Gets the entire inheritanc/interface tree for the actual run-time type of the object passed in. This will include a type representing the actual run-time type of the object, as well as a type representing each superclass of that runtime type, and each interface that runtime type or one of its superclasses implement.

Declaration

public static IEnumerable<Type> GetRuntimeTypeTree(object obj)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Object	obj	Object to return type tree for.

Returns

Type	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Type>	The complete inheritance/interface tree for the runtime-type of the object passed in, including the runtime type itself, and all superclasses of that type, as well as Type objects for each interface that runtime type or its superclasses implement.

GetTypeTree(Type)

Gets the entire inheritance/interface tree for the type specified. This will include the type itself, as well as a Type representing each superclass of the type represented by type, and each interface that type or its superclasses implement.

Declaration

public static IEnumerable<Type> GetTypeTree(Type type)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Type	type

Returns

Type	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Type>	The complete interface/inheritance for the type represented by type, including type, all superclasses, and all interfaces T or its superclasses implement.

Remarks

This function may be somewhat expensive to compute, so if you plan to use it frequently it is recommended to cache the results.

GetTypeTree<T>()

Gets the entire inheritance/interface tree for type T. This will include a Type that represents type T, as well as a Type representing each superclass of T, and each interface that T or its superclasses implement.

Declaration

public static IEnumerable<Type> GetTypeTree<T>()

Returns

Type	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Type>	The complete interface/inheritance tree of T, including T, all superclasses, and all interfaces T or its superclasses implement.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	Type to get inheritance/interface tree for.

Remarks

This function may be somewhat expensive to compute, so if you plan to use it frequently it is recommended to cache the results.
