Public Member Functions
readonly SerializableType	AsShort ()
	Converts AssemblyQualifiedName and returns a short form, without version, culture etc.
readonly override bool	Equals (object obj)
	Returns `true` if obj is SerializableType and the AssemblyQualifiedName is the same.
readonly bool	Equals (SerializableType other)
	Returns `true` if the AssemblyQualifiedName is the same.
readonly override int	GetHashCode ()
	Returns the hash code of the AssemblyQualifiedName.
	SerializableType (string type)
	Create a new instance and stores type as AssemblyQualifiedName.
	SerializableType (Type type)
	Create a new instance and stores full Type.AssemblyQualifiedName. To use shorter form, use AsShort.

Static Public Member Functions
static string	GetShortAssemblyQualifiedName (Type type)
	Converts the Type.AssemblyQualifiedName to a shorter form, without version, culture etc.
static implicit	operator SerializableType (Type type)
	Implicitly convert a Type to a SerializableType.
static implicit	operator Type (SerializableType serializableType)
	Implicitly convert a SerializableType to a Type.

Public Attributes
string	AssemblyQualifiedName
	Type's assembly qualified name.

Properties
readonly bool	IsValid `[get]`
	Is the type valid.
readonly Type	Value `[get]`
	Retrieve the type. The value is obtained using Type.GetType(string) and cached in a static.
