C# Class Catel.Reflection.TypeCache

Cache containing the types of an appdomain.

Public Methods

Method	Description
GetType ( string typeNameWithAssembly, bool ignoreCase = false ) : Type	Gets the specified type from the loaded assemblies.
GetTypeWithAssembly ( string typeName, string assemblyName, bool ignoreCase = false ) : Type	Gets the specified type from the loaded assemblies.
GetTypeWithoutAssembly ( string typeNameWithoutAssembly, bool ignoreCase = false ) : Type	Gets the type without assembly. For example, when the value `Catel.TypeHelper` is used as parameter, the type for `Catel.TypeHelper, Catel.Core` will be returned. 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.
GetTypes ( bool>.Func predicate = null ) : System.Type[]	Gets all the types from the current AppDomain where the predicate returns true.
GetTypesImplementingInterface ( Type interfaceType ) : System.Type[]	Gets the types implementing the specified interface.
GetTypesOfAssembly ( Assembly assembly, bool>.Func predicate = null ) : System.Type[]	Gets the types of the specified assembly.
InitializeTypes ( Assembly assembly = null, bool forceFullInitialization = false ) : void	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 object.GetType.
InitializeTypes ( bool forceFullInitialization, string assemblyName ) : void	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 object.GetType.

Private Methods

Method	Description
GetAssemblyTypes ( List assemblies ) : HashSet>.Dictionary
GetType ( string typeName, string assemblyName, bool ignoreCase ) : Type	Gets the type.
GetTypeBySplittingInternals ( string typeWithInnerTypes ) : Type	Gets the type by splitting internal types. This means that System.Collections.List`1[[MyCustomType.Item]] will be splitted and resolved separately.
GetTypesPrefilteredByAssembly ( string assemblyName, bool>.Func predicate ) : System.Type[]	Gets the types prefiltered by assembly. If types must be retrieved from a single assembly only, this method is very fast.
InitializeAssemblies ( IEnumerable assemblies, bool force ) : void
InitializeType ( Assembly assembly, Type type ) : void
InitializeTypes ( bool forceFullInitialization, Assembly assembly = null ) : void
OnAssemblyLoaded ( object sender, AssemblyLoadEventArgs args ) : void	Called when an assembly is loaded in the current AppDomain.
ShouldIgnoreAssembly ( Assembly assembly ) : bool	Determines whether the specified assembly must be ignored by the type cache.
ShouldIgnoreType ( Assembly assembly, Type type ) : bool	Determines whether the specified type must be ignored by the type cache.
TypeCache ( ) : System

Method Details

GetType() public static method

Gets the specified type from the loaded assemblies.

The is null or whitespace.

public static GetType ( string typeNameWithAssembly, bool ignoreCase = false ) : Type
typeNameWithAssembly	string	The name of the type including namespace and assembly, formatted with the method.
ignoreCase	bool	A value indicating whether the case should be ignored.
return	System.Type

GetTypeWithAssembly() public static method

Gets the specified type from the loaded assemblies.

The is null or whitespace. The is null or whitespace.

public static GetTypeWithAssembly ( string typeName, string assemblyName, bool ignoreCase = false ) : Type
typeName	string	The name of the type including namespace.
assemblyName	string	The name of the type including namespace.
ignoreCase	bool	A value indicating whether the case should be ignored.
return	System.Type

GetTypeWithoutAssembly() public static method

Gets the type without assembly. For example, when the value Catel.TypeHelper is used as parameter, the type for Catel.TypeHelper, Catel.Core will be returned.

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.

The is null or whitespace.

public static GetTypeWithoutAssembly ( string typeNameWithoutAssembly, bool ignoreCase = false ) : Type
typeNameWithoutAssembly	string	The type name without assembly.
ignoreCase	bool	A value indicating whether the case should be ignored.
return	System.Type

GetTypes() public static method

Gets all the types from the current AppDomain where the predicate returns true.

The is null.

public static GetTypes ( bool>.Func predicate = null ) : System.Type[]
predicate	bool>.Func	The predicate where the type should apply to.
return	System.Type[]

GetTypesImplementingInterface() public static method

Gets the types implementing the specified interface.

public static GetTypesImplementingInterface ( Type interfaceType ) : System.Type[]
interfaceType	System.Type	Type of the interface.
return	System.Type[]

GetTypesOfAssembly() public static method

Gets the types of the specified assembly.

public static GetTypesOfAssembly ( Assembly assembly, bool>.Func predicate = null ) : System.Type[]
assembly	System.Reflection.Assembly	The assembly.
predicate	bool>.Func	The predicate to use on the types.
return	System.Type[]

InitializeTypes() public static method

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 object.GetType.

public static InitializeTypes ( Assembly assembly = null, bool forceFullInitialization = false ) : void
assembly	System.Reflection.Assembly	The assembly to initialize the types from. If null, all assemblies will be checked.
forceFullInitialization	bool	If true, the types are initialized, even when the types are already initialized.
return	void

InitializeTypes() public static method

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 object.GetType.

The is null or whitespace.

public static InitializeTypes ( bool forceFullInitialization, string assemblyName ) : void
forceFullInitialization	bool	If true, the types are initialized, even when the types are already initialized.
assemblyName	string	Name of the assembly. If null, all assemblies will be checked.
return	void
