MethodBase is the base class of MethodInfo and ConstructorInfo.
Notes to Inheritors:
When you inherit from MethodBase, you must override the following members: MethodBase::GetParameters, MethodBase::Invoke, MethodBase::GetMethodImplementationFlags, MethodBase::MethodHandle, MethodBase::Attributes, MemberInfo::Name, MemberInfo::DeclaringType, MemberInfo::MemberType, MemberInfo::ReflectedType, MemberInfo::GetCustomAttributes(Boolean), MemberInfo::GetCustomAttributes(Type^, Boolean), and MemberInfo::IsDefined.
for full trust for inheritors. This class cannot be inherited by partially trusted code.
