    text
    copied!<p>I'm working on a visual studio 2008 add-in that will generate data-access code by looking at the method signature combined with a set of options the user enters in a dialog. </p> <p>For analyzing the method signature I use the ITypeResolutionService of visual studio to lookup a type that either exists in the current project, in the referenced projects or in the referenced assemblies.</p> <p>For this I created the following functionality:</p> <pre><code>private ITypeResolutionService _typeResolutionService; private ITypeDiscoveryService _typeDiscoveryService; /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Initializes a new instance of the TypeResolver class. /// &lt;/summary&gt; public TypeResolver(VisualStudioServiceProvider serviceProvider, Project project) { IVsSolution solution = serviceProvider.GetService&lt;IVsSolution&gt;(); DynamicTypeService typeResolver = serviceProvider.GetService&lt;DynamicTypeService&gt;(); IVsHierarchy hierarchy = null; solution.GetProjectOfUniqueName(project.UniqueName, out hierarchy); _typeResolutionService = typeResolver.GetTypeResolutionService(hierarchy); _typeDiscoveryService = typeResolver.GetTypeDiscoveryService(hierarchy); } /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Resolves a type in the current solution /// &lt;/summary&gt; /// &lt;param name="name"&gt;Name of the type to resolve&lt;/param&gt; /// &lt;returns&gt;Returns the resolved type; otherwise null&lt;/returns&gt; public Type Resolve(string name) { return _typeResolutionService.GetType(name, true); } </code></pre> <p>It does resolve non-generic types, but sadly doesn't work on generic types. Does anybody have an idea on how to get the above snippet working for generic types too?</p>
