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 in the type library. This can be particularly useful when dealing with types that might be dynamically loaded or when working with plugins or modules that can be unloaded.
// Example of using 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// Handle the case where the type is no longer valid
Console.WriteLine($"The type {typeDesc.Name} is no longer valid.");
}
