MemberTypes Enumeration

.NET Framework 4.5

Other Versions

Marks each type of member that is defined as a derived class of MemberInfo.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

Namespace: System.Reflection
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

C++

[SerializableAttribute]
[FlagsAttribute]
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]
public enum MemberTypes

Members

	Member name	Description
	All	Specifies all member types.
	Constructor	Specifies that the member is a constructor, representing a ConstructorInfo member. Hexadecimal value of 0x01.
	Custom	Specifies that the member is a custom member type. Hexadecimal value of 0x40.
	Event	Specifies that the member is an event, representing an EventInfo member. Hexadecimal value of 0x02.
	Field	Specifies that the member is a field, representing a FieldInfo member. Hexadecimal value of 0x04.
	Method	Specifies that the member is a method, representing a MethodInfo member. Hexadecimal value of 0x08.
	NestedType	Specifies that the member is a nested type, extending MemberInfo.
	Property	Specifies that the member is a property, representing a PropertyInfo member. Hexadecimal value of 0x10.
	TypeInfo	Specifies that the member is a type, representing a TypeInfo member. Hexadecimal value of 0x20.

Remarks

These enum values are returned by MemberType and are useful in switch statements. MemberTypes matches CorTypeAttr as defined in the corhdr.h file.

To obtain the MemberTypes value for a method:

First get a Type.
From the Type, get the MemberInfo array.
From the MemberInfo array, get the MemberType.

Examples

The following example displays the member types for the specified class.

C++

using System;
using System.Reflection;

class membertypesenum 
{
    public static int Main(string[] args) 
    {
        Console.WriteLine ("\nReflection.MemberTypes");
        MemberTypes Mymembertypes;

        // Get the type of a chosen class.
        Type Mytype = Type.GetType
            ("System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException");

        // Get the MemberInfo array.
        MemberInfo[] Mymembersinfoarray = Mytype.GetMembers();

        // Get and display the name and the MemberType for each member. 
        foreach (MemberInfo Mymemberinfo in Mymembersinfoarray) 
        { 
            Mymembertypes = Mymemberinfo.MemberType; 
            Console.WriteLine("The member {0} of {1} is a {2}.", Mymemberinfo.Name, Mytype, Mymembertypes.ToString());
        }
        return 0;
    }
}
