Description = Gives the minimum representation of type as string suitable for later reconstruction by -GetType-.0x000D0x000A(that is with namespace and including all relevant assembly names but nothing more)0x000D0x000AThe returned string even takes into consideration generics when the generic type resides in a different assembly.0x000D0x000A0x000D0x000AThe return value is considered SQL-"safe" in the sense that it may be inserted directly into an SQL statement (not relevant for new AgoRapide (2020) though).0x000D0x000A0x000D0x000ACorresponding method for getting the type back is -TryGetTypeFromStringFromCache-.0x000D0x000A0x000D0x000ANote how caches result since operation is somewhat complicated due do generic types.0x000D0x000ANote how returns a string.Intern in order to make for quicker dictionary lookup as returned string will often be used for lookup in other caches.
LongDescription = TODO: GIVE BETTER EXAMPLE below because ApplicationPart does not exist in new AgoRapide (2020).0x000D0x000A0x000D0x000AExample of return value is:0x000D0x000AApplicationPart0x003CP0x003E0x003B : AgoRapide.ApplicationPart0x006010x005BAgoRapideSample.P,AgoRapideSample0x005D,AgoRapide0x000D0x000A(the part before : is what is returned by -ToStringShort- and serves as a human readable shorthand)0x000D0x000A0x000D0x000ANote complexities involved around generic types where the generic argument exist in a different assembly.0x000D0x000AFor instance for:0x000D0x000A    typeof(AgoRapide.ApplicationPart0x007BAgoRapideSample.P0x007D)0x000D0x000A where ApplicationPart resides in AgoRapide and0x000D0x000A P resides in AgoRapideSample a simple approach like0x000D0x000A   -ToString- , -Assembly-.-GetName-0x000D0x000A would give0x000D0x000A   AgoRapide.ApplicationPart0x006010x005BAgoRapideSample.P0x005D,AgoRapide0x000D0x000A which is not enough information for -GetType-0x000D0x000A0x000D0x000A Therefore, for types where generic arguments exist in a different assembly we have to do like explained here:0x000D0x000A http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2276384/loading-a-generic-type-by-name-when-the-generics-arguments-come-from-multiple-as0x000D0x000A0x000D0x000A In our case what is returned by this methdod is something like mentioned above0x000D0x000A   AgoRapide.ApplicationPart0x006010x005BAgoRapideSample.P,AgoRapideSample0x005D,AgoRapide0x000D0x000A that is, we insert the assembly name where the type of the generic parameter resides, into the string.0x000D0x000A
