PropertyInfo.GetValue Method (Object, BindingFlags, Binder, Object[], CultureInfo)

public abstract Object GetValue(
	Object obj,
	BindingFlags invokeAttr,
	Binder binder,
	Object[] index,
	CultureInfo culture
)

Implements

To determine whether a property is indexed, use the GetIndexParameters method. If the resulting array has 0 (zero) elements, the property is not indexed.

Because static properties belong to the type, not individual objects, get static properties by passing null as the object argument. For example, use the following code to get the static CurrentCulture property of CultureInfo :

PropertyInfo CurCultProp = 
       (typeof(CultureInfo)).GetProperty("CurrentCulture"); 
Console.WriteLine("CurrCult: " +
       CurCultProp.GetValue(null,null));

To use the GetValue method, first get the class Type. From the Type, get the PropertyInfo. From the PropertyInfo, use the GetValue method.

Note

Starting with the .NET Framework version 2.0 Service Pack 1, this method can be used to access non-public members if the caller has been granted ReflectionPermission with the ReflectionPermissionFlag.RestrictedMemberAccess flag and if the grant set of the non-public members is restricted to the caller’s grant set, or a subset thereof. (See Security Considerations for Reflection.) To use this functionality, your application should target the .NET Framework version 3.5 or later.

• ReflectionPermission  

  for accessing non-public members when the grant set of the non-public members is restricted to the caller's grant set, or a subset thereof. Associated enumeration: ReflectionPermissionFlag.RestrictedMemberAccess

• ReflectionPermission  

  for accessing non-public members regardless of their grant set. Associated enumeration: ReflectionPermissionFlag.MemberAccess

• ReflectionPermission  

  when invoked late-bound through mechanisms such as Type.InvokeMember. Associated enumeration: ReflectionPermissionFlag.MemberAccess.
