Examples

The following code example displays the attributes of the user-defined method Mymethod.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;
using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;
public ref class AttributesSample
{
public:
   void Mymethod( int int1m, [Out]interior_ptr<String^> str2m, interior_ptr<String^> str3m )
   {
       *str2m = "in Mymethod";
   }
};

void PrintAttributes( Type^ attribType, int iAttribValue )
{
   if (  !attribType->IsEnum )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "This type is not an enum." );
      return;
   }

   array<FieldInfo^>^fields = attribType->GetFields( static_cast<BindingFlags>(BindingFlags::Public | BindingFlags::Static) );
   for ( int i = 0; i < fields->Length; i++ )
   {
      int fieldvalue = safe_cast<Int32>(fields[ i ]->GetValue( nullptr ));
      if ( (fieldvalue & iAttribValue) == fieldvalue )
      {
         Console::WriteLine( fields[ i ]->Name );
      }
   }
}

int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "Reflection.MethodBase.Attributes Sample" );

   // Get the type.
   Type^ MyType = Type::GetType( "AttributesSample" );

   // Get the method Mymethod on the type.
   MethodBase^ Mymethodbase = MyType->GetMethod( "Mymethod" );

   // Display the method name.
   Console::WriteLine( "Mymethodbase = {0}", Mymethodbase );

   // Get the MethodAttribute enumerated value.
   MethodAttributes Myattributes = Mymethodbase->Attributes;

   // Display the flags that are set.
   PrintAttributes( System::Reflection::MethodAttributes::typeid, (int)Myattributes );
   return 0;
}

using System;
using System.Reflection;

class AttributesSample
{
    public void Mymethod (int int1m, out string str2m, ref string str3m)
    {
        str2m = "in Mymethod";
    }

    public static int Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine ("Reflection.MethodBase.Attributes Sample");

        // Get the type.
        Type MyType = Type.GetType("AttributesSample");

        // Get the method Mymethod on the type.
        MethodBase Mymethodbase = MyType.GetMethod("Mymethod");

        // Display the method name.
        Console.WriteLine("Mymethodbase = " + Mymethodbase);

        // Get the MethodAttribute enumerated value.
        MethodAttributes Myattributes = Mymethodbase.Attributes;

        // Display the flags that are set.
        PrintAttributes(typeof(System.Reflection.MethodAttributes), (int) Myattributes);
        return 0;
    }

    public static void PrintAttributes(Type attribType, int iAttribValue)
    {
        if (!attribType.IsEnum)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("This type is not an enum.");
            return;
        }

        FieldInfo[] fields = attribType.GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static);
        for (int i = 0; i < fields.Length; i++)
        {
            int fieldvalue = (int)fields[i].GetValue(null);
            if ((fieldvalue & iAttribValue) == fieldvalue)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(fields[i].Name);
            }
        }
    }
}

Imports System.Reflection

Class AttributesSample

    Public Sub Mymethod(ByVal int1m As Integer, ByRef str2m As String, ByRef str3m As String)
        str2m = "in Mymethod"
    End Sub

    Public Shared Function Main(ByVal args() As String) As Integer
        Console.WriteLine("Reflection.MethodBase.Attributes Sample")

        ' Get the type.
        Dim MyType As Type = Type.GetType("AttributesSample")

        ' Get the method Mymethod on the type.
        Dim Mymethodbase As MethodBase = MyType.GetMethod("Mymethod")

        ' Display the method name.
        Console.WriteLine("Mymethodbase = {0}.", Mymethodbase)

        ' Get the MethodAttribute enumerated value.
        Dim Myattributes As MethodAttributes = Mymethodbase.Attributes

        ' Display the flags that are set.
        PrintAttributes(GetType(System.Reflection.MethodAttributes), CInt(Myattributes))
        Return 0
    End Function 'Main

    Public Shared Sub PrintAttributes(ByVal attribType As Type, ByVal iAttribValue As Integer)
        If Not attribType.IsEnum Then
            Console.WriteLine("This type is not an enum.")
            Return
        End If
        Dim fields As FieldInfo() = attribType.GetFields((BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.Static))
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To fields.Length - 1
            Dim fieldvalue As Integer = CType(fields(i).GetValue(Nothing), Int32)
            If (fieldvalue And iAttribValue) = fieldvalue Then
                Console.WriteLine(fields(i).Name)
            End If
        Next i
    End Sub
End Class

This code produces the following output:

Mymethodbase = Void Mymethod(Int32, System.String ByRef, System.String ByRef)

Remarks

All members have a set of attributes, which are defined in relation to the specific type of member.

To get the MethodAttributes, first get the type. From the type, get the method. From the method, get the MethodAttributes.

Notes to Implementers

Use the Attributes property to determine whether a method is public, private, final, virtual, and so on.
