| [DynamicComponentTypeHandle](/engine/7000.0/script-reference/unity/entities/dynamiccomponenttypehandle.md) | An object representing the type information required to safely access component data stored in a chunk. |

### Remarks

Remember to call [DynamicComponentTypeHandle.Update](/engine/7000.0/script-reference/unity/entities/dynamiccomponenttypehandle/update.md).

Pass an DynamicComponentTypeHandle instance to a job that has access to chunk data, such as an [IJobChunk](/engine/7000.0/script-reference/unity/entities/ijobchunk.md) job, to access that type of component inside the job.
