Remarks
Tokens are used in Microsoft intermediate language (MSIL) instructions to identify objects. Tokens are relative to the module in which they are contained. For example, the token value for String is likely to be different from module to module. When GetTypeToken is invoked, a reference is added to the module. The reference becomes a permanent part of the module; multiple calls with the same argument have no additional effect.
