面向 UWP 的 C# 应用程序使用两组不同的类型.您已经知道 .NET 类型，如 System.String，但 UWP 特定类型实际上是底层的 COM 接口.COM 是互操作的超级粘合剂，这是您也可以用 Javascript 和 C++ 编写 UWP 应用程序的基本原因.和 C# 一样，WinRT 的核心是一个非托管的 api.

A C# app that targets UWP uses two distinct sets of types. You already know the .NET types, like System.String, but the UWP specific types are actually COM interfaces under the hood. COM is the super-glue of interop, the basic reason why you can also write UWP apps in Javascript and C++. And C#, WinRT is an unmanaged api at its core.

内置于 .NET Framework 中的 WinRT 的语言投影使那些讨厌的小细节高度隐蔽.某些 WinRT 类型很容易识别，例如 Windows 命名空间中的任何类型.有些可以两者兼而有之，System.String 既可以是 .NET 类型，也可以包装 WinRT HSTRING..NET Framework 会自动自行解决这个问题.

The language projection for WinRT built into the .NET Framework makes that nasty little detail highly invisible. Some WinRT types are easy to identify, anything in the Windows namespace for example. Some can be both, a System.String can be both a .NET type and wrap a WinRT HSTRING. The .NET Framework automagically figures this out by itself.

非常隐蔽，但散布上有一些裂缝.Type 类就是其中之一，COM 类型的反射很困难.微软无法隐藏两者之间的巨大差异，不得不创建 TypeInfo 类.

Very invisible, but there are some cracks in the spackle. The Type class is one of them, Reflection for COM types is difficult. Microsoft could not hide the big difference between the two and had to create the TypeInfo class.

您会在该类中找到所有缺失的属性.一些愚蠢的示例代码显示它在 UWP 应用程序中的工作:

You'll find all the missing properties back in that class. Some silly sample code that shows it at work in a UWP app:

using System.Reflection;
using System.Diagnostics;
...

    public App()
    {
        Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.WindowsAppInitializer.InitializeAsync(
            Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.WindowsCollectors.Metadata |
            Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.WindowsCollectors.Session);
        this.InitializeComponent();
        this.Suspending += OnSuspending;
        // Reflection code...
        var t = typeof(string).GetTypeInfo();
        Debug.WriteLine(t.IsEnum);
        Debug.WriteLine(t.IsPrimitive);
        Debug.WriteLine(t.IsGenericType);
        Debug.WriteLine(t.IsPublic);
        Debug.WriteLine(t.IsNestedPublic);
        Debug.WriteLine(t.BaseType.AssemblyQualifiedName);
        Debug.WriteLine(t.IsValueType);
    }
