Getting .NET types programaticly?

[mikker_123]

Is it possible to get .NET types using some C# code? For example: private void InitializeTypes() { cmbBlah.Items.Clear(); foreach (NetType nt in GetNetTypes()) cmbBlah.Items.Add(nt.ToString()); } ? tnx in advance

The NetType you're talking about is actually System.Type[^] . You can get it using Object.GetType[^], Assembly.GetTypes[^] etc. For example, if you want to fill a combobox with all public types in your assembly, you can do:

using System.Reflection;

private void InitializeTypes(){
cmbBlah.Items.Clear();

// Get current assembly
Assembly currentAss = Assembly.GetCurrentAssembly();
// Get all public types from the assembly
Type[] publicTypes = currentAss.GetExportedTypes();

foreach (Type type in publicTypes){
cmbBlah.Items.Add(type.ToString());
}
}

Welcome to the wonderful world of reflection! :) Merry Christmas! :jig:
