Type.FilterAttribute Field

Definition

Represents the member filter used on attributes. This field is read-only.

public: static initonly System::Reflection::MemberFilter ^ FilterAttribute;
public static readonly System.Reflection.MemberFilter FilterAttribute;
 staticval mutable FilterAttribute : System.Reflection.MemberFilter
Public Shared ReadOnly FilterAttribute As MemberFilter 

Field Value

Examples

The following example gets the FilterAttribute delegate, passes it as a parameter to the FindMembers method, and displays the specified members and their attributes.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Reflection;
using namespace System::Security;
int main()
{
   try
   {
      MemberFilter^ myFilter = Type::FilterAttribute;
      Type^ myType = System::String::typeid;
      array<MemberInfo^>^myMemberInfoArray = myType->FindMembers( static_cast<MemberTypes>(MemberTypes::Constructor | MemberTypes::Method), static_cast<BindingFlags>(BindingFlags::Public | BindingFlags::Static | BindingFlags::Instance), myFilter, MethodAttributes::SpecialName );
      IEnumerator^ myEnum = myMemberInfoArray->GetEnumerator();
      while ( myEnum->MoveNext() )
      {
         MemberInfo^ myMemberinfo = safe_cast<MemberInfo^>(myEnum->Current);
         Console::Write( "\n {0}", myMemberinfo->Name );
         Console::Write( " is a {0}", myMemberinfo->MemberType );
      }
   }
   catch ( ArgumentNullException^ e ) 
   {
      Console::Write( "ArgumentNullException : {0}", e->Message );
   }
   catch ( SecurityException^ e ) 
   {
      Console::Write( "SecurityException : {0}", e->Message );
   }
   catch ( Exception^ e ) 
   {
      Console::Write( "Exception : {0}", e->Message );
   }

Remarks

This field holds a reference to the delegate used by the FindMembers method. The method encapsulated by this delegate takes two parameters: the first is a MemberInfo object and the second is an Object. The method determines whether the MemberInfo object matches the criteria specified by the Object. The Object may be assigned the value of any one of the fields on the classes FieldAttributes, MethodAttributes, or MethodImplAttributes.

For example, the Object can be assigned the value of a field from FieldAttributes such as Public. In that case, when the FilterAttribute delegate is invoked, it will return true only if the method represented by the MemberInfo object is decorated with the public field attribute in metadata.
