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 existence of a type before performing operations that depend on it.
Use the IsValid property to verify the existence of a type before attempting to access its members or perform operations on it. This can prevent runtime errors that occur when trying to interact with a type that no longer exists.
// Example usage of the IsValid property
TypeDescription typeDesc = TypeLibrary.GetType("SomeNamespace.SomeClass");
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 not valid
Console.WriteLine("The type is not valid.");
}
