Type cache

The TypeCache is the centralized cache by Catel for type information. It should be used by any class to gather type information since most of the calls are being cached by Catel.

Getting types without versioning

Sometimes you know what type to get and what assembly it is living in. However, you don’t want to be version-dependent by specifying the fully qualified assembly name. By using the TypeCache.GetType method, it is possible to get a type by only the assembly name (e.g. Catel.Core) and the type name (e.g. Catel.Data.ObservableObject).

var type = TypeCache.GetType("Catel.Data.ObservableObject", "Catel.Core");

More documentation should be written in the future
