FieldInfo::FieldType Property

 

Gets the type of this field object.

Namespace:   System.Reflection
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
property Type^ FieldType {
	virtual Type^ get() abstract;
}

Property Value

Type: System::Type^

The type of this field object.

The type is some primitive data type, such as String, Boolean, or GUID.

To get the FieldType property, first get the class Type. From the Type, get the FieldInfo. From the FieldInfo, get the FieldType value.

The following example creates a field, gets its type and FieldInfo, and displays its FieldType.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;

public ref class TestClass
{
   // Define a field.
   private:
      String^ field = "private field" ;

// public:
//    Myfield()
//       : field( "private field" )
//    {}
// 
// 
//    property String^ Field 
//    {
//       String^ get()
//       {
//          return field;
//       }
// 
//   }
};

void main()
{
   TestClass^ cl = gcnew TestClass;

   // Get the type and FieldInfo.
   Type^ t = cl->GetType();
   FieldInfo^ fi = t->GetField("field", 
                   static_cast<BindingFlags>(BindingFlags::Instance | BindingFlags::NonPublic));

   // Get and display the Ftype s ieldType.
   Console::WriteLine("Field Name: {0}.{1}", t->FullName, fi->Name );
   Console::WriteLine("Field Value: '{0}'", fi->GetValue(cl));
   Console::WriteLine("Field Type: {0}", fi->FieldType);
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       Field Name: TestClass.field
//       Field Value: 'private field'
//       Field Type: System.String
