Indicates whether the accessor should be returned if it is non-public. true if a non-public accessor is to be returned; otherwise, false.
Return Value
Type: System.Reflection.MethodInfoValue | Condition |

A MethodInfo object representing the Set method for this property. | The set accessor is public. -or- nonPublic is true and the set accessor is non-public. |

Implements
_PropertyInfo.GetSetMethod(Boolean)| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| SecurityException | The requested method is non-public and the caller does not have ReflectionPermission to reflect on this non-public method. |
To use the GetSetMethod method, first get the class Type. From the Type, get the PropertyInfo. From the PropertyInfo, use the GetSetMethod method.
The following example displays the set accessor for the specified property.
using System; using System.Reflection; // Define a property. public class Myproperty { private string caption = "A Default caption"; public string Caption { get{return caption;} set {if(caption!=value) {caption = value;} } } } class Mypropertyinfo { public static int Main() { Console.WriteLine ("\nReflection.PropertyInfo"); // Get the type and PropertyInfo for two separate properties. Type MyTypea = Type.GetType("Myproperty"); PropertyInfo Mypropertyinfoa = MyTypea.GetProperty("Caption"); Type MyTypeb = Type.GetType("System.Text.StringBuilder"); PropertyInfo Mypropertyinfob = MyTypeb.GetProperty("Length"); // Get and display the GetSetMethod method for each property. MethodInfo Mygetmethodinfoa = Mypropertyinfoa.GetSetMethod(); Console.Write ("\nSetAccessor for " + Mypropertyinfoa.Name + " returns a " + Mygetmethodinfoa.ReturnType); MethodInfo Mygetmethodinfob = Mypropertyinfob.GetSetMethod(); Console.Write ("\nSetAccessor for " + Mypropertyinfob.Name + " returns a " + Mygetmethodinfob.ReturnType); // Display the GetSetMethod without using the MethodInfo. Console.Write ("\n\n" + MyTypea.FullName + "." + Mypropertyinfoa.Name + " GetSetMethod - " + Mypropertyinfoa.GetSetMethod()); Console.Write ("\n" + MyTypeb.FullName + "." + Mypropertyinfob.Name + " GetSetMethod - " + Mypropertyinfob.GetSetMethod()); return 0; } }
