## Remarks
 A <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference> object is used to represent a type for CodeDOM objects. When CodeDOM types have a `Type` property, it is of type <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference>. For example, the <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeMemberField.Type?displayProperty=nameWithType> property is a <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference> that represents a field's data type.

 A <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference> can be initialized with a <xref:System.Type> object or a string. It is generally recommended to use a <xref:System.Type> to do this, although it may not always be possible. If initializing an instance of this class with a string, it is strongly recommended to always use fully qualified types, such as "System.Console" instead of just "Console", because not all languages support importing namespaces. Array types can be specified by either passing in a type object for an array or using one of the constructors that accept rank as a parameter.

 The <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.BaseType> property specifies the name of the type to reference. For references to array types, the <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.ArrayElementType> property indicates the type of the elements of the array, and the <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.ArrayRank> property indicates the number of dimensions in the array.



## Examples
 The following example demonstrates use of a <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference> to represent a reference to a type.

## Remarks
 If the `typeName` parameter references a generic type, it must follow the syntax conventions for generic types. For example, the reflection signature for a <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2> type, where `K` is a string and `V` is a <xref:System.Collections.Generic.List`1> of integers, is represented by reflection as the following (with the assembly information removed): ``System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[[System.String], [System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.Int32]]]]``.

> [!NOTE]
>  You must use square brackets ([]) and not the C# angle brackets (<>) to delimit generic parameters.

 To avoid the possibility of making a mistake in specifying the syntax, consider using the constructor that takes a type as a parameter instead of a string.

## Remarks
 This property contains the name of the type unless it is an array type, in which case it is the array element type.

> [!NOTE]
>  The name of the property may be misleading. This property contains just the type name with any array adornments or generic type arguments removed, not the base or parent type as might be expected. For example, the <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.BaseType*> value for ``System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[[System.String], [System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.Int32]]]]`` is ``System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2``.

## Representation of Generic Types
 The information in this section is intended for CodeDom provider developers and only applies to CLS-compliant languages. The return value can contain generic types. Generic types are formatted with the name of the type followed by a grave accent ("`") followed by a count of the generic type arguments. The generic type arguments can be found in the <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReferenceCollection> returned by the <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.TypeArguments> property. The values returned by <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.BaseType*> and the associated <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.TypeArguments*> contain the same content as the value of the type returned by reflection.

 For example, a constructed <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2> where `K` is a string and `V` is a constructed <xref:System.Collections.Generic.List`1> of integers is represented by reflection as the following (with the assembly information removed):

```
System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[[System.String], [System.Collections.Generic.List`1[[System.Int32]]]]
```

 Recursively parsing the <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.BaseType> property from the <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference> for <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2> yields the same strings as the reflection representation above:

- The <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.BaseType> property for the parent <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference> returns the following:

  ```
    System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2
  ```

- The <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.BaseType> property for the first <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference> object in the <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.TypeArguments*> collection returns the following:

  ```
    System.String
  ```

- The <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.BaseType> property for the second <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference> object in the <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.TypeArguments*> collection returns the following:

  ```
    System.Collections.Generic.List`1
  ```

- The <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.TypeArguments> property in the <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference> object for ``System.Collections.Generic.List`1`` returns the following:

  ```
    System.Int32
  ```

 The type argument count should be used when parsing the associated <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.TypeArguments*> values. The common practice is to remove the type argument count from the generated code, but the practice is compiler specific.  It is important to note that the type argument count can be found within a nested type name, in which case it is followed by a plus sign ("+").

> [!NOTE]
>  When creating a generic <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference>, the recommended practice is to specify the type arguments as <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference> objects or use the constructor that takes a <xref:System.Type>. Use of the constructor that creates a <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference> from a string can lead to undiscoverable type-argument errors.

## Remarks
 The <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.TypeArguments> property is a collection of type references to be substituted for the type parameter references of the current generic type. The collection contains all the type arguments for all nested types. For an example, see the <xref:System.CodeDom.CodeTypeReference.BaseType> property.
