GetMethods Method (BindingFlags)
[This documentation is for preview only, and is subject to change in later releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
When overridden in a derived class, searches for the methods defined for the current Type, using the specified binding constraints.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public MustOverride Function GetMethods ( _
bindingAttr As BindingFlags _
) As MethodInfo()
public abstract MethodInfo[] GetMethods(
BindingFlags bindingAttr
)
public:
virtual array<MethodInfo^>^ GetMethods(
BindingFlags bindingAttr
) abstract
abstract GetMethods :
bindingAttr:BindingFlags -> MethodInfo[]
public abstract function GetMethods(
bindingAttr : BindingFlags
) : MethodInfo[]
Parameters
- bindingAttr
Type: System.Reflection. . :: . .BindingFlags
A bitmask comprised of one or more BindingFlags that specify how the search is conducted.
-or-
Zero, to return nullNothingnullptrunita null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Return Value
Type: array<System.Reflection. . :: . .MethodInfo> [] () [] []
An array of MethodInfo objects representing all methods defined for the current Type that match the specified binding constraints.
-or-
An empty array of type MethodInfo, if no methods are defined for the current Type, or if none of the defined methods match the binding constraints.
Remarks
The GetMethods method does not return methods in a particular order, such as alphabetical or declaration order. Your code must not depend on the order in which methods are returned, because that order varies.
The following BindingFlags filter flags can be used to define which methods to include in the search:
You must specify either BindingFlags.Instance or BindingFlags.Static in order to get a return.
Specify BindingFlags.Public to include public methods in the search.
Specify BindingFlags.NonPublic to include non-public methods (that is, private, internal, and protected methods) in the search. Only protected and internal methods on base classes are returned; private methods on base classes are not returned.
Specify BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy to include public and protected static members up the hierarchy; private static members in inherited classes are not included.
The following BindingFlags modifier flags can be used to change how the search works:
- BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly to search only the methods declared on the Type, not methods that were simply inherited.
See System.Reflection..::..BindingFlags for more information.
If the current Type represents a constructed generic type, this method returns the MethodInfo objects with the type parameters replaced by the appropriate type arguments.
If the current Type represents a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method, this method searches the methods of the class constraint, or the methods of Object if there is no class constraint.
