Type.GetProperties Method
.NET Framework 1.1
Gets the properties of the current Type.
Overload List
Returns all the public properties of the current Type.
Supported by the .NET Compact Framework.
[Visual Basic] Overloads Public Function GetProperties() As PropertyInfo()
[C#] public PropertyInfo[] GetProperties();
[C++] public: PropertyInfo* GetProperties() [];
[JScript] public function GetProperties() : PropertyInfo[];
When overridden in a derived class, searches for the properties of the current Type, using the specified binding constraints.
Supported by the .NET Compact Framework.
[Visual Basic] Overloads Public MustOverride Function GetProperties(BindingFlags) As PropertyInfo() Implements IReflect.GetProperties
[C#] public abstract PropertyInfo[] GetProperties(BindingFlags);
[C++] public: virtual PropertyInfo* GetProperties(BindingFlags) [] = 0;
[JScript] public abstract function GetProperties(BindingFlags) : PropertyInfo[];
Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example creates two public properties and one protected property and displays information for the properties that match the specified binding constraints.
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] Note This example shows how to use one of the overloaded versions of GetProperties. For other examples that might be available, see the individual overload topics.
