Public Methods

Method	Description
GetFriendlyClassName ( this type ) : string	Gets the friendly class name of the provided type, trimming generic parameters.
GetRootType ( this type ) : Type	Gets the root type in the inheritance hierarchy from which the specified type inherits. Unless input type is object or MarshalByRefObject, the returned type will never be object or MarshalByRefObject, even though all types ultimately inherit from either one of them.
IsNumeric ( this type ) : bool	Determines if the specified type is a native structure that represents a numeric value. For this method a boolean value is not considered numeric even though it can be thought of as a bit. This expression returns `true` if the type is one of the following: SByte, Byte, Int16, UInt16, Int24, UInt24, Int32, UInt32, Int64, UInt64, Single, Double, Decimal
LoadImplementations ( this type ) : List	Loads public types from assemblies in the application binaries directory that implement the specified type either through class inheritance or interface implementation.
LoadImplementations ( this type, bool excludeAbstractTypes ) : List	Loads public types from assemblies in the application binaries directory that implement the specified type either through class inheritance or interface implementation.
LoadImplementations ( this type, string binariesDirectory ) : List	Loads public types from assemblies in the specified binariesDirectory that implement the specified type either through class inheritance or interface implementation.

Method Details

GetFriendlyClassName() public static method

Gets the friendly class name of the provided type, trimming generic parameters.

public static GetFriendlyClassName ( this type ) : string
type	this	Type to get friendly class name for.
return	string

GetRootType() public static method

Gets the root type in the inheritance hierarchy from which the specified type inherits.

Unless input type is object or MarshalByRefObject, the returned type will never be object or MarshalByRefObject, even though all types ultimately inherit from either one of them.

public static GetRootType ( this type ) : Type
type	this	The whose root type is to be found.
return	System.Type

IsNumeric() public static method

Determines if the specified type is a native structure that represents a numeric value.

For this method a boolean value is not considered numeric even though it can be thought of as a bit. This expression returns true if the type is one of the following:

SByte, Byte, Int16, UInt16, Int24, UInt24, Int32, UInt32, Int64, UInt64, Single, Double, Decimal

public static IsNumeric ( this type ) : bool
type	this	The being tested.
return	bool

LoadImplementations() public static method

Loads public types from assemblies in the application binaries directory that implement the specified type either through class inheritance or interface implementation.

public static LoadImplementations ( this type ) : List
type	this	The that must be implemented by the public types.
return	List

LoadImplementations() public static method

Loads public types from assemblies in the application binaries directory that implement the specified type either through class inheritance or interface implementation.

public static LoadImplementations ( this type, bool excludeAbstractTypes ) : List
type	this	The that must be implemented by the public types.
excludeAbstractTypes	bool	true to exclude public types that are abstract; otherwise false.
return	List

LoadImplementations() public static method

Loads public types from assemblies in the specified binariesDirectory that implement the specified type either through class inheritance or interface implementation.

public static LoadImplementations ( this type, string binariesDirectory ) : List
type	this	The that must be implemented by the public types.
binariesDirectory	string	The directory containing the assemblies to be processed.
return	List
