public static class TypeCache
Cache containing the types of an appdomain.
Fields
Constructors
Properties
InitializedAssemblies
Gets the names of the assemblies initialized by the TypeCache.
ShouldIgnoreAssemblyEvaluators
Gets the evaluators used to determine whether a specific assembly should be ignored.
ShouldIgnoreTypeEvaluators
Gets the evaluators used to determine whether a specific type should be ignored.
Events
AssemblyLoaded
Occurs when an assembly is loaded into the currently.
Methods
GetType(string typeNameWithAssembly, bool ignoreCase, bool allowInitialization)
Gets the specified type from the loaded assemblies.
Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| typeNameWithAssembly | The name of the type including namespace and assembly, formatted with the String) method. |
| ignoreCase | A value indicating whether the case should be ignored. |
| allowInitialization | If set totrue, allow initialization of the AppDomain if it hasn’t happened yet. Iffalse, deal with the types currently in the cache. |
Returns
The ornull if the type cannot be found.
Exceptions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | The typeNameWithAssembly isnull or whitespace. |
GetTypes(Func<Type, bool> predicate, bool allowInitialization)
Gets all the types from the current where the predicate returns true.
Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| predicate | The predicate where the type should apply to. |
| allowInitialization | If set totrue, allow initialization of the AppDomain if it hasn’t happened yet. Iffalse, deal with the types currently in the cache. |
Returns
An array containing all the that match the predicate.
Exceptions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ArgumentNullException | The predicate isnull. |
GetTypesImplementingInterface(Type interfaceType)
Gets the types implementing the specified interface.
Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| interfaceType | Type of the interface. |
Returns
Type[].
GetTypesOfAssembly(Assembly assembly, Func<Type, bool> predicate)
Gets the types of the specified assembly.
Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| assembly | The assembly. |
| predicate | The predicate to use on the types. |
Returns
All types of the specified assembly.
GetTypeWithAssembly(string typeName, string assemblyName, bool ignoreCase, bool allowInitialization)
Gets the specified type from the loaded assemblies.
Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| typeName | The name of the type including namespace. |
| assemblyName | The name of the type including namespace. |
| ignoreCase | A value indicating whether the case should be ignored. |
| allowInitialization | If set totrue, allow initialization of the AppDomain if it hasn’t happened yet. Iffalse, deal with the types currently in the cache. |
Returns
The ornull if the type cannot be found.
Exceptions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | The typeName isnull or whitespace. |
GetTypeWithoutAssembly(string typeNameWithoutAssembly, bool ignoreCase, bool allowInitialization)
Gets the type without assembly. For example, when the valueCatel.TypeHelper is used as parameter, the type forCatel.TypeHelper, Catel.Core will be returned.
Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| typeNameWithoutAssembly | The type name without assembly. |
| ignoreCase | A value indicating whether the case should be ignored. |
| allowInitialization | If set totrue, allow initialization of the AppDomain if it hasn’t happened yet. Iffalse, deal with the types currently in the cache. |
Returns
The ornull if the type cannot be found.
Exceptions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | The typeNameWithoutAssembly isnull or whitespace. |
Remarks
Note that this method can only support one type of “simple type name” resolving. For example, if “Catel.TypeHelper” is located in multiple assemblies, it will always use the latest known type for resolving the type.
InitializeTypes(Assembly assembly, bool forceFullInitialization, bool allowMultithreadedInitialization)
Initializes the types in the specified assembly. It does this by looping through all loaded assemblies and registering the type by type name and assembly name. The types initialized by this method are used by.
Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| assembly | The assembly to initialize the types from. Ifnull, all assemblies will be checked. |
| forceFullInitialization | Iftrue, the types are initialized, even when the types are already initialized. |
| allowMultithreadedInitialization | Iftrue, allow multithreaded initialization. The default value isfalse. |
InitializeTypes(string assemblyName, bool forceFullInitialization, bool allowMultithreadedInitialization)
Initializes the types. It does this by looping through all loaded assemblies and registering the type by type name and assembly name. The types initialized by this method are used by.
Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| assemblyName | Name of the assembly. Ifnull, all assemblies will be checked. |
| forceFullInitialization | Iftrue, the types are initialized, even when the types are already initialized. |
| allowMultithreadedInitialization | Iftrue, allow multithreaded initialization. |
Exceptions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | The assemblyName isnull or whitespace. |
