Gets the members (properties, methods, fields, events, and so on) of the current Type.

Overload List

Returns all the public members of the current Type.

Supported by the .NET Compact Framework.

[Visual Basic] Overloads Public Function GetMembers() As MemberInfo()

[C#] public MemberInfo[] GetMembers();

[C++] public: MemberInfo* GetMembers() [];

[JScript] public function GetMembers() : MemberInfo[];

When overridden in a derived class, searches for the members defined for the current Type, using the specified binding constraints.

Supported by the .NET Compact Framework.

[Visual Basic] Overloads Public MustOverride Function GetMembers(BindingFlags) As MemberInfo() Implements IReflect.GetMembers

[C#] public abstract MemberInfo[] GetMembers(BindingFlags);

[C++] public: virtual MemberInfo* GetMembers(BindingFlags) [] = 0;

[JScript] public abstract function GetMembers(BindingFlags) : MemberInfo[];
