    function GetContextType(resultType, instanceParameterType, variableContext);

#### Parameters

resultType Type
  Return value Type used for generated context type functions.
instanceParameterType Type
  Instance parameter Type for generated context type functions.
variableContext ISupportContextVariables (Optional)
  Optional ISupportContextVariables instance to use for context variables.

#### Return Value

Type
Compiled context type based on registered types and symbols.

## Remarks

This method may generate a new runtime type based on registered types and symbols that is compiled into its own assembly and loaded into memory. The same cached type will be returned unless the registered types or symbols change. Since prior compiled assemblies cannot be unloaded, this property should only be called after all the desired types and symbols have been registered.
