Goal	Method
Get type hierarchy tree	typeof(MyClass).GetTypeTree()

Methods

GetTypeTree

Returns a TypeTree representing the type hierarchy rooted at the given type. Delegates to the static TypeTree.GetTypeTree(Type) method.

public static TypeTree GetTypeTree(this Type type)

Parameter	Type	Description
type	Type	The type to build the hierarchy tree for

Returns: TypeTree — a cached type hierarchy structure for the given type.

TypeTree is a Paragon Editor utility class that uses TypeCache.GetTypesDerivedFrom() to build and cache type hierarchies. The GetTypeTree static method returns a cached instance, so repeated calls for the same type are efficient.

Examples

Getting a type hierarchy

using Paragon.Editor;

TypeTree tree = typeof(IAbility).GetTypeTree();
