_MemberInfoThe ReflectedType property retrieves the Type object that was used to obtain this instance of MemberInfo. This may differ from the value of the DeclaringType property if this MemberInfo object represents a member that is inherited from a base class.
If the MemberInfo object is a global member (that is, if it was obtained from the Module
