MemberInfo.ReflectedType Property
Gets the class object that was used to obtain this instance of MemberInfo.
[Visual Basic] Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property ReflectedType As Type [C#] public abstract Type ReflectedType {get;} [C++] public: __property virtual Type* get_ReflectedType() = 0; [JScript] public abstract function get ReflectedType() : Type;
Property Value
The Type object through which this MemberInfo object was obtained.
Remarks
The ReflectedType property retrieves the Type object that was used to obtain this instance of MemberInfo. A MemberInfo object represents a member of a particular class or interface.
In order to obtain a MethodInfo object:
- The Type object that represents the class or interface that supports the method is queried. This property holds a reference to that Type object.
- If the reflected type is the same class as the declaring class, the member is defined on the declaring class, not on a base class.
- If the MemberInfo object is a global member, (that is, it was obtained from Module.GetMethods, which returns global methods on a module), then the returned DeclaringType will be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example gets ReflectedType property for the specified type.
[Visual Basic] Imports System Imports System.IO Imports System.Reflection Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Class Mymemberinfo Public Shared Sub Main() Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr & "Reflection.MemberInfo") ' Get the Type and MemberInfo. Dim MyType As Type = Type.GetType("System.IO.BufferedStream") Dim Mymemberinfoarray As MemberInfo() = MyType.GetMembers() ' Get and display the DeclaringType method. Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr & "There are {0} members in {1}:", _ Mymemberinfoarray.Length, MyType.FullName) Dim Mymemberinfo As MemberInfo For Each Mymemberinfo In Mymemberinfoarray Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.Cr & Mymemberinfo.Name _ & " reflected type - " & Mymemberinfo.ReflectedType.ToString()) Next Mymemberinfo End Sub End Class [C#] using System; using System.IO; using System.Reflection; class Mymemberinfo { public static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine ("\nReflection.MemberInfo"); // Get the Type and MemberInfo. Type MyType =Type.GetType("System.IO.BufferedStream"); MemberInfo[] Mymemberinfoarray = MyType.GetMembers(); // Get and display the DeclaringType method. Console.Write("\nThere are {0} members in ", Mymemberinfoarray.Length); Console.Write("{0}.", MyType.FullName); foreach (MemberInfo Mymemberinfo in Mymemberinfoarray) { Console.Write("\n" + Mymemberinfo.Name + " reflected type - " + Mymemberinfo.ReflectedType); } } } [C++] #using <mscorlib.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::IO; using namespace System::Reflection; int main() { Console::WriteLine (S"\nReflection.MemberInfo"); // Get the Type and MemberInfo. Type* MyType =Type::GetType(S"System.IO.BufferedStream"); MemberInfo* Mymemberinfoarray[] = MyType->GetMembers(); // Get and display the DeclaringType method. Console::Write(S"\nThere are {0} members in ", __box(Mymemberinfoarray->Length)); Console::Write(S"{0}.", MyType->FullName); System::Collections::IEnumerator* enum0 = Mymemberinfoarray->GetEnumerator(); while (enum0->MoveNext()) { MemberInfo* Mymemberinfo = __try_cast<MemberInfo*>(enum0->Current); Console::Write(S"\n{0} reflected type - {1}", Mymemberinfo->Name, Mymemberinfo->ReflectedType); } }
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] This code produces the following output:
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] Reflection.MemberInfo
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] There are 31 members in System.IO.BufferedStream.
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] WriteByte reflected type - System.IO.BufferedStream
