Detailed Description

Describes a message type.

Member Function Documentation

◆ FindFieldByName()

FieldDescriptor Google.Protobuf.Reflection.MessageDescriptor.FindFieldByName ( String name )

inline

Finds a field by field name.

Parameters

name	The unqualified name of the field (e.g. "foo").

Returns: The field's descriptor, or null if not found.

Member Data Documentation

◆ Name

override string Google.Protobuf.Reflection.MessageDescriptor.Name => Proto.Name

The brief name of the descriptor's target.

Property Documentation

◆ ClrType

Type Google.Protobuf.Reflection.MessageDescriptor.ClrType

get

The CLR type used to represent message instances from this descriptor.

The value returned by this property will be non-null for all regular fields. However, if a message containing a map field is introspected, the list of nested messages will include an auto-generated nested key/value pair message for the field. This is not represented in any generated type, so this property will return null in such cases.

For wrapper types (Google.Protobuf.WellKnownTypes.StringValue and the like), the type returned here will be the generated message type, not the native type used by reflection for fields of those types. Code using reflection should call IsWrapperType to determine whether a message descriptor represents a wrapper type, and handle the result appropriately.

◆ ContainingType

MessageDescriptor Google.Protobuf.Reflection.MessageDescriptor.ContainingType

get

If this is a nested type, get the outer descriptor, otherwise null.

◆ EnumTypes

IList<EnumDescriptor> Google.Protobuf.Reflection.MessageDescriptor.EnumTypes

get

An unmodifiable list of this message type's enum types.

◆ Fields

FieldCollection Google.Protobuf.Reflection.MessageDescriptor.Fields

get

A collection of fields, which can be retrieved by name or field number.

◆ NestedTypes

IList<MessageDescriptor> Google.Protobuf.Reflection.MessageDescriptor.NestedTypes

get

An unmodifiable list of this message type's nested types.

◆ Oneofs

IList<OneofDescriptor> Google.Protobuf.Reflection.MessageDescriptor.Oneofs

get

An unmodifiable list of the "oneof" field collections in this message type.

◆ Parser

MessageParser Google.Protobuf.Reflection.MessageDescriptor.Parser

get

A parser for this message type.

As MessageDescriptor is not generic, this cannot be statically typed to the relevant type, but it should produce objects of a type compatible with ClrType.

The value returned by this property will be non-null for all regular fields. However, if a message containing a map field is introspected, the list of nested messages will include an auto-generated nested key/value pair message for the field. No message parser object is created for such messages, so this property will return null in such cases.

For wrapper types (Google.Protobuf.WellKnownTypes.StringValue and the like), the parser returned here will be the generated message type, not the native type used by reflection for fields of those types. Code using reflection should call IsWrapperType to determine whether a message descriptor represents a wrapper type, and handle the result appropriately.
