System.TypedReference Structure

Summary

Describes objects that contain both a managed pointer to a location and a runtime representation of the type that may be stored at that location.

This class is not CLS Compliant

C# Syntax:

[CLSCompliant(false)] public struct TypedReference

A typed reference is a type/value combination used for varargs and other support.TypedReference is a built-in value type that can be used for parameters and local variables.

Arrays of TypedReference objects cannot be created. For example, the following call is invalid:

          Assembly.Load("mscorlib.dll").GetType("System.TypedReference[]");

Summary

Returns the type of the target of the specified TypedReference.

This class is not CLS Compliant

C# Syntax:

public static Type GetTargetType(    TypedReference value );

value

The value whose target's type is to be returned.

Return Value:

The type of the target of the specified TypedReference.

Summary

Makes a TypedReference for the specified target object using the specifying fields.

This class is not CLS Compliant

This member is not CLS Compliant

C# Syntax:

[CLSCompliant(false)] public static TypedReference MakeTypedReference(    object target,    FieldInfo[] flds );

target

The target object that defines the type of the TypedReference.

flds

The fields to be encapsulated.

Return Value:

A TypedReference for the specified target.

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	target or flds is null.
ArgumentException	The flds array has no elements.

Summary

Converts the specified value to a TypedReference.

This class is not CLS Compliant

This member is not CLS Compliant

C# Syntax:

[CLSCompliant(false)] public static void SetTypedReference(    TypedReference target,    object value );

target

The target of the conversion.

value

The value to be converted.

Return Value:

This method assigns value to target. A change type of value converts it to the type of the TypedReference. The Convert.ChangeType method does the conversion.

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
ArgumentNullException	value is null.
InvalidCastException	The requested conversion is not possible.

Summary

Returns the internal metadata type handle for the specified TypedReference.

This class is not CLS Compliant

C# Syntax:

public static RuntimeTypeHandle TargetTypeToken(    TypedReference value );

value

The TypedReference for which the type handle is requested.

Return Value:

The internal metadata type handle for the specified TypedReference.

Return to top

Summary

Converts the specified TypedReference to an Object.

This class is not CLS Compliant

C# Syntax:

public static object ToObject(    TypedReference value );

value

The TypedReference to be converted.

Return Value:

An Object converted from a TypedReference.

This might be a boxing operation.

Inherited
See base class member description: System.ValueType.ToString

Summary

Returns the fully qualified type name of this instance.

C# Syntax:

public override string ToString();

Return Value:

A String containing a fully qualified type name.
