Methods

Name	Description
GetType(SpecialType)	Gets a INamedType representing a given SpecialType.
GetType(string)	Get type based on its full name, as used in reflection.
GetType(Type)	Gets an IType given a reflection Type.
MakeArrayType(IType, int)	Creates an array type from the current type.
MakePointerType(IType)	Creates an array type from the current type.
ToNonNullableType(INamedType)	Returns the non-nullable type from the current INamedType. If the current type is a non-nullable reference type, returns the current type. If current type represents a Nullable<T> where `T` is a value-type type parameter, this method returns ITypeParameter. Otherwise, it returns an INamedType.
ToNonNullableType(IType)	Returns the non-nullable type from the current IType. If the current type is a non-nullable reference type, returns the current type. If the current type is a Nullable<T>, i.e. a nullable value type, returns the underlying type.
ToNonNullableType(ITypeParameter)	Returns the non-nullable type from the current ITypeParameter. If the current type is a non-nullable reference type, returns the current type.
ToNonNullableType(IArrayType)	Returns the non-nullable type from the current IArrayType. If the current type is non-nullable, returns the current type.
ToNonNullableType(IDynamicType)	Returns the non-nullable type from the current IDynamicType. If the current type is non-nullable, returns the current type.
ToNullableType(INamedType)	Creates a nullable type from the current INamedType. If the current type is already nullable, returns the current type. If the type is a value type, returns a Nullable<T> of this type.
ToNullableType(IType)	Creates a nullable type from the current IType. If the current type is already nullable, returns the current type. If the type is a value type, returns a Nullable<T> of this type.
ToNullableType(IArrayType)	Creates a nullable type from the current IArrayType. If the current type is already nullable, returns the current type.
ToNullableType(IDynamicType)	Creates a nullable type from the current IDynamicType. If the current type is already nullable, returns the current type.
