Syntax

public sealed class TypeRegistry

Properties

Empty

An empty type registry, containing no types.

Declaration

public static TypeRegistry Empty { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
TypeRegistry

Methods

Find(String)

Attempts to find a message descriptor by its full name.

Declaration

public MessageDescriptor Find(string fullName)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	fullName	The full name of the message, which is the dot-separated combination of package, containing messages and message name

Returns

Type	Description
MessageDescriptor	The message descriptor corresponding to fullName or null if there is no such message descriptor.

FromFiles(FileDescriptor[])

Creates a type registry from the specified set of file descriptors.

Declaration

public static TypeRegistry FromFiles(params FileDescriptor[] fileDescriptors)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
FileDescriptor[]	fileDescriptors	The set of files to include in the registry. Must not contain null values.

Returns

Type	Description
TypeRegistry	A type registry for the given files.

Remarks

This is a convenience overload for FromFiles(IEnumerable<FileDescriptor>) to allow calls such as TypeRegistry.FromFiles(descriptor1, descriptor2).

FromFiles(IEnumerable<FileDescriptor>)

Creates a type registry from the specified set of file descriptors.

Declaration

public static TypeRegistry FromFiles(IEnumerable<FileDescriptor> fileDescriptors)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<FileDescriptor>	fileDescriptors	The set of files to include in the registry. Must not contain null values.

Returns

Type	Description
TypeRegistry	A type registry for the given files.

Remarks

All message types within all the specified files are added to the registry, and the dependencies of the specified files are also added, recursively.

FromMessages(MessageDescriptor[])

Creates a type registry from the file descriptor parents of the specified set of message descriptors.

Declaration

public static TypeRegistry FromMessages(params MessageDescriptor[] messageDescriptors)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
MessageDescriptor[]	messageDescriptors	The set of message descriptors to use to identify file descriptors to include in the registry. Must not contain null values.

Returns

Type	Description
TypeRegistry	A type registry for the given files.

Remarks

This is a convenience overload for FromMessages(IEnumerable<MessageDescriptor>) to allow calls such as TypeRegistry.FromFiles(descriptor1, descriptor2).

FromMessages(IEnumerable<MessageDescriptor>)

Creates a type registry from the file descriptor parents of the specified set of message descriptors.

Declaration

public static TypeRegistry FromMessages(IEnumerable<MessageDescriptor> messageDescriptors)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<MessageDescriptor>	messageDescriptors	The set of message descriptors to use to identify file descriptors to include in the registry. Must not contain null values.

Returns

Type	Description
TypeRegistry	A type registry for the given files.

Remarks

The specified message descriptors are only used to identify their file descriptors; the returned registry contains all the types within the file descriptors which contain the specified message descriptors (and the dependencies of those files), not just the specified messages.
