    Inherits MemberInfo _
    Implements _MethodBase

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As MethodBase

[SerializableAttribute]
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
[ClassInterfaceAttribute(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
[PermissionSetAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Name = "FullTrust")]
public abstract class MethodBase : MemberInfo, 
    _MethodBase

[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
[ClassInterfaceAttribute(ClassInterfaceType::None)]

public ref class MethodBase abstract : public MemberInfo, 
    _MethodBase

JScript

Remarks

MethodBase is the base class of MethodInfo and ConstructorInfo.

Notes to Inheritors:

When you inherit from MethodBase, you must override the following members: MethodBase..::.GetParameters, MethodBase..::.Invoke, MethodBase..::.GetMethodImplementationFlags, MethodBase..::.MethodHandle, MethodBase..::.Attributes, MemberInfo..::.Name, MemberInfo..::.DeclaringType, MemberInfo..::.MemberType, MemberInfo..::.ReflectedType, MemberInfo..::.GetCustomAttributes(Boolean), MemberInfo..::.GetCustomAttributes(Type, Boolean), and MemberInfo..::.IsDefined.

Inheritance Hierarchy
