Type.FilterName Field (System)

.NET Framework Class Library

Type..::.FilterName Field

Represents the case-sensitive member filter used on names. This field is read-only.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Public Shared ReadOnly FilterName As MemberFilter

public static readonly MemberFilter FilterName

public:
static initonly MemberFilter^ FilterName

static val FilterName: MemberFilter

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 is assigned a string value, which may include a trailing "*" wildcard character. Only wildcard end string matching is supported.

For example, the Object may be assigned the value "Byte*". In that case, when the FilterName delegate is invoked, it will return true only if the method represented by the MemberInfo object has a name that begins with "Byte".

Examples

The following code example gets the methods associated with the user-defined Application type.


' Get the set of methods associated with the type
Dim mi As MemberInfo() = _
   GetType(Application).FindMembers( _
   MemberTypes.Constructor Or MemberTypes.Method, _
   BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly, _
   Type.FilterName, "*")
Console.WriteLine("Number of methods (includes constructors): " & _
   mi.Length.ToString())


// Get the set of methods associated with the type
MemberInfo[] mi = typeof(Application).FindMembers(MemberTypes.Constructor | 
    MemberTypes.Method, 
    BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic |
    BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly,
    Type.FilterName, "*");
  Console.WriteLine("Number of methods (includes constructors): " + mi.Length);


// Get the set of methods associated with the type
array<MemberInfo^>^ mi = Application::typeid->FindMembers(
   (MemberTypes)(MemberTypes::Constructor | MemberTypes::Method),
   (BindingFlags)(BindingFlags::Public | BindingFlags::Static |
      BindingFlags::NonPublic | BindingFlags::Instance | BindingFlags::DeclaredOnly),
   Type::FilterName, "*" );
Console::WriteLine( "Number of methods (includes constructors): {0}", mi->Length );
