GetCachedBuildDependencySet(HttpContext, String, Boolean)

Returns a build dependency set for a virtual path if the path is located in the ASP.NET cache, even if the content is not current.

GetCompiledAssembly(String)

Compiles a file into an assembly using the specified virtual path.

GetCompiledCustomString(String)

GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

(Inherited from Object)
GetObjectFactory(String, Boolean)

Gets an object factory for the specified virtual path.

GetReferencedAssemblies()

GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
GetType(String, Boolean)

Finds a type in the top-level assemblies or in assemblies that are defined in configuration, and optionally throws an exception on failure.

GetType(String, Boolean, Boolean)

Finds a type in the top-level assemblies, or in assemblies that are defined in configuration, by using a case-insensitive search and optionally throwing an exception on failure.

GetVirtualPathDependencies(String)

Provides a collection of virtual-path dependencies for a specified virtual path.
