Type..::.MemberType Property

Gets a MemberTypes value indicating that this member is a type or a nested type.

Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property MemberType As MemberTypes
public override MemberTypes MemberType { get; }
public:
virtual property MemberTypes MemberType {
	MemberTypes get () override;
}
abstract MemberType : MemberTypes
override MemberType : MemberTypes

Property Value

Type: System.Reflection..::.MemberTypes
A MemberTypes value indicating that this member is a type or a nested type.

Implements

_Type..::.MemberType
_MemberInfo..::.MemberType
Remarks

This property overrides MemberInfo..::.MemberType. Therefore, when you examine a set of MemberInfo objects—for example, the array returned by GetMembers—the MemberType property returns MemberTypes..::.NestedType when a given member is a nested type.

If the current Type represents a constructed generic type, this property applies to the generic type definition from which the type was constructed. For example, if the current Type represents MyGenericType<int> (MyGenericType(Of Integer) in Visual Basic), the value of this property is determined by MyGenericType<T>.

If the current Type represents a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method, this property always returnsMemberTypes..::.TypeInfo.

Examples

The following code example shows the MemberType field as a parameter to the GetMember method:


Dim others As MemberInfo() = t.GetMember(mi.Name, mi.MemberType, _
BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.Static Or BindingFlags.NonPublic _
Or BindingFlags.Instance)


MemberInfo[] others = t.GetMember(mi.Name, mi.MemberType, BindingFlags.Public |
BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);


array<MemberInfo^>^ others = t->GetMember( mi->Name, mi->MemberType,
   (BindingFlags)(BindingFlags::Public | BindingFlags::Static |
      BindingFlags::NonPublic | BindingFlags::Instance) );
