Syntax

public static class ReflectionUtils

Methods

FindType(Func<Type, bool>)

Search all assemblies for a type that matches a given predicate delegate.

Declaration

public static Type FindType(Func<Type, bool> predicate)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Func<Type, bool>	predicate	The predicate function. Must return true for the type that matches the search.

Returns

Type	Description
Type	The first type for which predicate returns true, or null if no matching type exists.

FindTypeByFullName(string)

Find a type in any assembly by its full name.

Declaration

public static Type FindTypeByFullName(string fullName)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	fullName	The name of the type as returned by FullName.

Returns

Type	Description
Type	The type found, or null if no matching type exists.

FindTypeInAssemblyByFullName(string, string)

Searches for a type by assembly simple name and its FullName. an assembly with the given simple name and returns the type with the given full name in that assembly

Declaration

public static Type FindTypeInAssemblyByFullName(string assemblyName, string typeName)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	assemblyName	Simple name of the assembly (GetName()).
string	typeName	Full name of the type to find (FullName).

Returns

Type	Description
Type	The type if found, otherwise null

FindTypesBatch(List<Func<Type, bool>>, List<Type>)

Search all assemblies for a set of types that matches any one of a set of predicates.

Declaration

public static void FindTypesBatch(List<Func<Type, bool>> predicates, List<Type> resultList)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
List<Func<Type, bool>>	predicates	The predicate functions. A predicate function must return true for the type that matches the search and should only match one type.
List<Type>	resultList	The list to which found types will be added. The list must have the same number of elements as the predicates list.

Remarks

This function tests each predicate against each type in each assembly. If the predicate returns true for a type, then that Type object is assigned to the corresponding index of the resultList. If a predicate returns true for more than one type, then the last matching result is used. If no type matches the predicate, then that index of resultList is left unchanged.

FindTypesByFullNameBatch(List<string>, List<Type>)

Searches all assemblies for a set of types by their FullName strings.

Declaration

public static void FindTypesByFullNameBatch(List<string> typeNames, List<Type> resultList)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
List<string>	typeNames	A list containing the FullName strings of the types to find.
List<Type>	resultList	An empty list to which any matching Type objects are added. A result in resultList has the same index as corresponding name in typeNames.

Remarks

If a type name in typeNames is not found, then the corresponding index of resultList is set to null.

ForEachAssembly(Action<Assembly>)

Executes a delegate function for every assembly that can be loaded.

Declaration

public static void ForEachAssembly(Action<Assembly> callback)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Action<Assembly>	callback	The callback method to execute for each assembly.

Remarks

ForEachAssembly iterates through all assemblies and executes a method on each one. If an ReflectionTypeLoadException is thrown, it is caught and ignored.

ForEachType(Action<Type>)

Executes a delegate function for each type in every assembly.

Declaration

public static void ForEachType(Action<Type> callback)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Action<Type>	callback	The callback to execute.

NicifyVariableName(string)

Cleans up a variable name for display in UI.

Declaration

public static string NicifyVariableName(string name)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
string	name	The variable name to clean up.

Returns

Type	Description
string	The display name for the variable.

PreWarmTypeCache()

Caches type information from all currently loaded assemblies.

Declaration

public static void PreWarmTypeCache()
