MemberInfo Class
Obtains information about the attributes of a member and provides access to member metadata.
System.Reflection.MemberInfo
System.Reflection.EventInfo
System.Reflection.FieldInfo
System.Reflection.MethodBase
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo
System.Type
Namespace: System.Reflection
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The MemberInfo type exposes the following members.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | DeclaringType | Gets the class that declares this member. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | MemberType | When overridden in a derived class, gets a MemberTypes value indicating the type of the member — method, constructor, event, and so on. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | MetadataToken | Gets a value that identifies a metadata element. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | Module | Gets the module in which the type that declares the member represented by the current MemberInfo is defined. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | Name | Gets the name of the current member. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | ReflectedType | Gets the class object that was used to obtain this instance of MemberInfo. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() ![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | GetCustomAttributes(Boolean) | When overridden in a derived class, returns an array of all custom attributes applied to this member. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | GetCustomAttributes(Type, Boolean) | When overridden in a derived class, returns an array of custom attributes applied to this member and identified by Type. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | IsDefined | When overridden in a derived class, indicates whether one or more attributes of the specified type or of its derived types is applied to this member. |
![]() ![]() ![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() ![]() ![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
The MemberInfo class is the abstract base class for classes used to obtain information about all members of a class (constructors, events, fields, methods, and properties).
This class introduces the basic functionality that all members provide.
In Silverlight-based applications, you cannot derive new types from MemberInfo.
The following example displays the member name and type of a specified class.

To run this example, see Building Examples That Use a Demo Method and a TextBlock Control. |
Imports System.Reflection Class Example Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock) ' Get the Type and MemberInfo. Dim MyType As Type = GetType(System.Threading.Thread) ' Display the MemberType and the member. outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("There are {0} members in {1}:" & vbLf, _ MyType.GetMembers().Length, MyType.FullName) For Each mi As MemberInfo In MyType.GetMembers() outputBlock.Text &= String.Format(" {0} - {1}" & vbLf, _ mi.MemberType, mi) Next End Sub End Class
