Get nested delegate type ref. from inside a generic class

Question

I tried to retrieve the TYPE for "PreProcess" from DomainDB class using

Type.GetType("DomainDBManager.DomainDB`1[System.String]+PreProcess") 

but this is returning null. Is there anyway to get the Public Field "PreProcess" using Type.GetType?

namespace DomainDBManager { public class DomainDB<T> { public Action<string> PreProcess; } }

You're currently trying to get a type by name - PreProcess is a field of the DomainDB<T> type, so Type.GetType isn't going to work. You need to get the type first, and then get the field from that:

Type type = Type.GetType("DomainDBManager.DomainDB`1[System.String]");
FieldInfo field = type.GetField("PreProcess");
Type fieldType = field.FieldType;
