MemberInfo.ReflectedType Property
Gets the class object that was used to obtain this instance of MemberInfo.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Implements
_MemberInfo.ReflectedTypeThe ReflectedType property retrieves the Type object that was used to obtain this instance of MemberInfo. This may differ from the value of the DeclaringType property if this MemberInfo object represents a member that is inherited from a base class.
If the MemberInfo object is a global member (that is, if it was obtained from the Module.GetMethods method, which returns global methods on a module), the returned DeclaringType will be null.
The following code example shows how the ReflectedType changes when the member Object.ToString is viewed from a MemberInfo obtained from type Object and from a MemberInfo obtained from the MemberInfo class itself, which inherits Object but does not override Object.ToString.
Imports System Imports System.Reflection Module Example Sub Main() Dim m1 As MemberInfo = GetType(Object).GetMethod("ToString") Dim m2 As MemberInfo = GetType(MemberInfo).GetMethod("ToString") Console.WriteLine("m1.DeclaringType: {0}", m1.DeclaringType) Console.WriteLine("m1.ReflectedType: {0}", m1.ReflectedType) Console.WriteLine() Console.WriteLine("m2.DeclaringType: {0}", m2.DeclaringType) Console.WriteLine("m2.ReflectedType: {0}", m2.ReflectedType) 'Console.ReadLine() End Sub End Module ' This code example produces the following output: ' ' m1.DeclaringType: System.Object ' m1.ReflectedType: System.Object ' ' m2.DeclaringType: System.Object ' m2.ReflectedType: System.Reflection.MemberInfo '
