Class NType

  • java.lang.Object
    • com.javonet.api.NType

  • public class NType
extends java.lang.Object
    A class representing any .NET type.

    Instances of NType exposes methods to perform operations on .NET types

    • calling static methods
    • getting or setting static fields and properties
    • creating instances of associated type

    Creating Instance of NType

    NType is initialized by calling Javonet.getType(String) method.

    This method loads to memory appropriate type on .NET side with unique identifier and returns
    instance of NType class associated to that identifier. This way all operation on NType class
    are transfered and executed on corresponding .NET type.

    Usage Sample

     
 NType dateTimeType = Javonet.getType("System.DateTime");
 String currenTime = dateTimeType.getRef("Now").invoke("ToString");
    Version:
    1.0

               throws JavonetException
        Creates new instance of associated .NET type using constructor with parameters.

        Constructor is being matched by parameters count and type.

        Parameters can be specified as JAVA primitive types (string, integer, float..) or instances of NObject class for reference-type parameters.

        This method returns new instance of NObject class associated to newly created object on .NET side.

      • generic

        public NGenericStaticMethod generic(NType... genericTypes)
        Initializes generic method invocation. Following invocation on returned object
        should call invoke(methodName) or invoke(methodName,parameters) to perform generic
        invocation on .NET method.

        Sample usage

        To call (.NET): obj.MyMethod<String>(arg1);

        Use following instruction (JAVA): obj.generic(NType(“String”)).invoke(“MyMethod”,arg1);

        Parameters:
        genericTypes – List of NType objects attached to .NET types to be used as generic arguments
        Returns:
        Generic method execution instance. Before method is executed following invoke method must be called on this object.



      • get

        public <T> T get(java.lang.String fieldName)
          throws JavonetException
        Returns value of static field or property of associated .NET type.

        If result is another .NET object a new instance of NObject class will be returned.

        Type Parameters:
        T – JAVA type to which the value returned from .NET field or property will be casted. Provide either JAVA value type like: integer, string, boolean or for reference type results please use NObject
        Parameters:
        fieldName – Name of the field or property which value needs to be retrieved
        Returns:
        Value of field or property retrieved from associated .NET object
        Throws:
        JavonetException – If .NET exception occurs within corresponding getter on .NET side



      • getOid

        public java.lang.Integer getOid()
        Returns unique identifier of associated type loaded on .NET side.
        Associated type is specified during initialization of NType class.
        Returns:
        Unique identifier of corresponding .NET type



      • getRef

        public NObject getRef(java.lang.String fieldName)
               throws JavonetException
        Returns value of static field or property of associated .NET type which return value is another .NET object.

        This method should be used to simplify get calls for properties/fields with reference result.

        Result is an instance of new NObject class associated to returned .NET object.

        Alternatively generic T get with NType type might be used dateTimeType.<NObject>get("Now");

        fieldName – Name of the field or property which value needs to be retrieved
        Returns:
        NObject instance associated to .NET class returned by specified field or property
