MemberInfo.Internal.cs

When overridden in a derived class, gets a MemberTypes value indicating the type of the member - method, constructor, event, and so on.

public:
 abstract property System::Reflection::MemberTypes MemberType { System::Reflection::MemberTypes get(); };

public abstract System.Reflection.MemberTypes MemberType { get; }

member this.MemberType : System.Reflection.MemberTypes

Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property MemberType As MemberTypes

Property Value

MemberTypes

A MemberTypes value indicating the type of member.

Examples

The following example displays the member name and type of a specified class.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;
int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "\nReflection.MemberInfo" );
   
   // Get the Type and MemberInfo.
   Type^ MyType = Type::GetType( "System.Reflection.PropertyInfo" );
   array<MemberInfo^>^Mymemberinfoarray = MyType->GetMembers();
   
   // Get the MemberType method and display the elements.
   Console::Write( "\nThere are {0} members in ", Mymemberinfoarray->GetLength( 0 ) );
   Console::Write( "{0}.", MyType->FullName );
   for ( int counter = 0; counter < Mymemberinfoarray->Length; counter++ )
   {
      Console::Write( "\n{0}. {1} Member type - {2}", counter, Mymemberinfoarray[ counter ]->Name, Mymemberinfoarray[ counter ]->MemberType );

   }
   return 0;
}

using System;
using System.Reflection;

class Mymemberinfo
{
    public static int Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine ("\nReflection.MemberInfo");

        // Get the Type and MemberInfo.
        Type MyType = Type.GetType("System.Reflection.PropertyInfo");
        MemberInfo[] Mymemberinfoarray = MyType.GetMembers();

        // Get the MemberType method and display the elements.
        Console.Write("\nThere are {0} members in ", Mymemberinfoarray.GetLength(0));
        Console.Write("{0}.", MyType.FullName);

        for (int counter = 0; counter < Mymemberinfoarray.Length; counter++)
        {
            Console.Write("\n" + counter + ". "
                + Mymemberinfoarray[counter].Name
                + " Member type - " +
                Mymemberinfoarray[counter].MemberType.ToString());
        }
        return 0;
    }
}

Imports System.Reflection

Class Mymemberinfo

    Public Shared Function Main() As Integer
        Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "Reflection.MemberInfo")

        ' Get the Type and MemberInfo.
        Dim MyType As Type = Type.GetType("System.Reflection.PropertyInfo")
        Dim Mymemberinfoarray As MemberInfo() = MyType.GetMembers()

        ' Get the MemberType method and display the elements.
        Console.Write(ControlChars.Cr + "There are {0} members in ", _
           Mymemberinfoarray.GetLength(0))
        Console.Write("{0}.", MyType.FullName)

        Dim counter As Integer
        For counter = 0 To Mymemberinfoarray.Length - 1
            Console.Write(ControlChars.CrLf + counter.ToString() + ". " _
               + Mymemberinfoarray(counter).Name _
               + " Member type - " _
               + Mymemberinfoarray(counter).MemberType.ToString())
        Next counter
        Return 0
    End Function
End Class

Remarks

This property is overridden in derived classes, and the override returns the appropriate member type. Therefore, when you examine a set of MemberInfo objects - for example, the array returned by GetMembers - the MemberType property can be used to determine the member type of any given member.

To get the MemberType property, get the class Type. From the Type, get the MethodInfo array. From the MethodInfo array, get the MemberTypes.
