Value

The Type object through which the current instance was obtained.

Remarks

This property is read-only.

If the current instance represents a generic type, or a type parameter of a generic type or method, this property returns the current instance.

Example

The following example demonstrates the Type.ReflectedType property. Although the method m is declared in MyClassA, its reflected type is obtained from MyClassB .

C# Example

using System;
using System.Reflection;
public abstract class ReflectedTypeTest {
    public abstract class MyClassA {
        public abstract int m();
    }
    public abstract class MyClassB : MyClassA {
    }
    public static void Main(string[] args) {
        Console.WriteLine("Reflected type of m is {0}",
            typeof(MyClassB).GetMethod("m").ReflectedType);
    }
}

The output is

Reflected type of m is ReflectedTypeTest+MyClassB
