HostFunctionstypeOf(Object) Method

Gets the Type for the specified host type. This version is invoked if the specified object cannot be used as a type argument.

Namespace: Microsoft.ClearScript
Assembly: ClearScript.Core (in ClearScript.Core.dll) Version: 7.4.5
Syntax
Copy
public Type typeOf(
	Object value
)

Parameters

value  Object
The host type for which to get the Type.

Return Value

Type
The Type for the specified host type.
Remarks

This function is similar to C#'s typeof operator. It is overloaded with typeOfT and selected at runtime if value cannot be used as a type argument. Note that this applies to some host types; examples are static types and overloaded generic type groups.

This function throws an exception if the script engine's AllowReflection property is set to false.

Example
The following code retrieves the assembly-qualified name of a host type. It assumes that an instance of ExtendedHostFunctions is exposed under the name "host" (see AddHostObject).
JavaScript
Copy
var ConsoleT = host.type("System.Console");
var name = host.typeOf(ConsoleT).AssemblyQualifiedName;
