The following BindingFlags filter flags can be used to define which methods to include in the search:

• You must specify either BindingFlags.Instance or BindingFlags.Static in order to get a return.

• Specify BindingFlags.Public to include public methods in the search.

• Specify BindingFlags.NonPublic to include non-public methods (that is, private and protected members) in the search.

• Specify BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy to include public and protected static members up the hierarchy; private static members in inherited classes are not included.

The following BindingFlags modifier flags can be used to change how the search works:

• BindingFlags.IgnoreCase to ignore the case of name.

• BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly to search only the methods declared on the Type, not methods that were simply inherited.

See System.Reflection..::.BindingFlags for more information.

If the requested method is non-public and the caller does not have ReflectionPermission to reflect non-public objects outside the current assembly, this method returns nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Note:
You cannot omit parameters when looking up constructors and methods. You can only omit parameters when invoking.

If the current T:System.Type represents a constructed generic type, this method returns the MethodInfo with the type parameters replaced by the appropriate type arguments.

If the current Type represents a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method, this method searches the methods of the class constraint, or the methods of Object if there is no class constraint.

Note:
For generic methods, do not include the type arguments in name. For example, the C# code GetMember("MyMethod<int>") searches for a member with the text name "MyMethod<int>", rather than for a method named MyMethod that has one generic argument of type int.

The following example gets the method that matches the specified binding flags.
