GetReflectionType(Type)
- Source:

Performs normal reflection against a type.
public:
Type ^ GetReflectionType(Type ^ objectType);public Type GetReflectionType (Type objectType);member this.GetReflectionType : Type -> TypePublic Function GetReflectionType (objectType As Type) As TypeParameters
Returns
The type of reflection for this objectType.
Exceptions
objectType is null.
Remarks
The GetReflectionType method is a lower-level version of the GetTypeDescriptor method. If no custom type descriptor can be located for an object, GetReflectionType is called to perform normal reflection against the object.
Use this method overload if you have called a type descriptor member that uses a type instead of an instance.

Performs normal reflection against the given object with the given type.
public:
virtual Type ^ GetReflectionType(Type ^ objectType, System::Object ^ instance);public virtual Type GetReflectionType (Type objectType, object instance);public virtual Type GetReflectionType (Type objectType, object? instance);abstract member GetReflectionType : Type * obj -> Type

- instance
- Object
An instance of the type. Can be null.
Returns
The type of reflection for this objectType.
Remarks
The GetReflectionType method is a lower-level version of the GetTypeDescriptor method. If no custom type descriptor can be located for an object, GetReflectionType is called to perform normal reflection against the object.
Notes to Inheritors
This method is prototyped as virtual, and by default returns objectType if no parent provider was passed. If a parent provider was passed, this method will invoke the parent provider's GetReflectionType method.
