MemberInfo::ReflectedType Property
Gets the class object that was used to obtain this instance of MemberInfo.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
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 nullptr.
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.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Reflection; int main() { MemberInfo^ m1 = Object::typeid->GetMethod("ToString"); MemberInfo^ m2 = MemberInfo::typeid->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(); } /* This code example produces the following output: m1.DeclaringType: System.Object m1.ReflectedType: System.Object m2.DeclaringType: System.Object m2.ReflectedType: System.Reflection.MemberInfo */
