Detailed Description

A System.Type wrapper that can be serialized.

A generic version of SerializableType that can be used to store types that inherit from a specific base type.

Template Parameters

BaseType

The base type of the type stored

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SerializableType() [1/2]

SerializableType

(

Type

type

)

Create a new instance and stores full Type.AssemblyQualifiedName. To use shorter form, use AsShort.

Parameters

type	Type to store. Can be null.

SerializableType() [2/2]

SerializableType

(

string

type

)

Create a new instance and stores type as AssemblyQualifiedName.

Parameters

type	Type name.

Member Function Documentation

AsShort()

readonly SerializableType AsShort

(

)

Converts AssemblyQualifiedName and returns a short form, without version, culture etc.

Equals() [1/2]

readonly override bool Equals

(

object

obj

)

Returns true if obj is SerializableType and the AssemblyQualifiedName is the same.

Equals() [2/2]

readonly bool Equals

(

SerializableType< BaseType >

other

)

Returns true if the AssemblyQualifiedName is the same.

GetHashCode()

readonly override int GetHashCode

(

)

Returns the hash code of the AssemblyQualifiedName.

GetShortAssemblyQualifiedName()

static string GetShortAssemblyQualifiedName ( Type  type )

static

Converts the Type.AssemblyQualifiedName to a shorter form, without version, culture etc.

operator SerializableType()

static implicit operator SerializableType ( Type  type )

static

Implicitly convert a Type to a SerializableType.

operator Type()

static implicit operator Type ( SerializableType< BaseType >  serializableType )

static

Implicitly convert a SerializableType to a Type.
