MethodBase.IsSpecialName Property
.NET Framework 4
Gets a value indicating whether this method has a special name.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The SpecialName bit is set to flag members that are treated in a special way by some compilers (such as property accessors and operator overloading methods).
This example shows a use of IsSpecialName to filter internal or private members out of a list.
using System; using System.IO; using System.Reflection; using System.Text; public class Sample { protected bool ShowMethods; protected StreamWriter myWriter; private void DumpMethods(Type aType) { if (!ShowMethods) return; MethodInfo[] mInfo = aType.GetMethods(); myWriter.WriteLine("Methods"); bool found = false; if (mInfo.Length != 0) { for (int i=0; i < mInfo.Length; i++) { // Only display methods declared in this type. Also // filter out any methods with special names, because these // cannot be generally called by the user. That is, their // functionality is usually exposed in other ways, for example, // property get/set methods are exposed as properties. if (mInfo[i].DeclaringType == aType && !mInfo[i].IsSpecialName) { found = true; StringBuilder modifiers = new StringBuilder(); if (mInfo[i].IsStatic) {modifiers.Append("static ");} if (mInfo[i].IsPublic) {modifiers.Append("public ");} if (mInfo[i].IsFamily) {modifiers.Append("protected ");} if (mInfo[i].IsAssembly) {modifiers.Append("internal ");} if (mInfo[i].IsPrivate) {modifiers.Append("private ");} myWriter.WriteLine("{0} {1}", modifiers, mInfo[i]); } } } if (!found) { myWriter.WriteLine("(none)"); } } }
