Examples

This example gets the ConstructorInfo for the FolderItem class. The Invoke method is used to create a new instance based on the constructor that takes no parameters.

Dim ti as Introspection.Typeinfo=GetTypeinfo(FolderItem)

Dim ci() as Introspection.ConstructorInfo=ti.GetConstructors

Dim f as FolderItem

f=ci(0).Invoke
