Example

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example displays all the methods of the myString class that start with the letter C.

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] Note   This example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of GetMember. For other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.

[Visual Basic] 
Public Sub GetPublicInstanceMethodMemberInfo()
    Dim myString As [String] = "GetMember_String_MemberType_BindingFlag"

    Dim myType As Type = myString.GetType()

    Dim myMembers As MemberInfo() = myType.GetMember("C*", MemberTypes.Method, BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.Instance)
    If myMembers.Length > 0 Then
        Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr + "The public instance method(s) starting with the letter C for type {0}:", myType)
