MemberTypes Enumeration

[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]

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)

[SerializableAttribute]
[ComVisibleAttribute(true)]

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

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.

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


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;
    }
}
