The IsValid property of the TypeDescription class indicates whether the described type is still valid, meaning that the type still exists in the current context. This property is useful for checking the integrity of a type, especially in dynamic or reflective scenarios where types might be loaded or unloaded at runtime.
Use the IsValid property to verify if a type is still available and can be interacted with. This is particularly important in environments where types might be dynamically loaded or removed, ensuring that operations on the type do not result in errors due to the type being unavailable.
// Example usage of the IsValid property
TypeDescription typeDesc = TypeLibrary.GetType("SomeNamespace.SomeType");
if (typeDesc.IsValid)
{
// Proceed with operations on the type
Console.WriteLine($"The type {typeDesc.Name} is valid.");
}
else
{
// Handle the case where the type is no longer valid
Console.WriteLine($"The type {typeDesc.Name} is no longer valid.");
}
