MethodAttributes Enumeration
[ This article is for Windows Phone 8 developers. If you’re developing for Windows 10, see the latest documentation. ]
Specifies flags for method attributes. These flags are defined in the corhdr.h file.
This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.
Namespace: System.ReflectionAssembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
| Member name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Abstract | Indicates that the class does not provide an implementation of this method. | |
| Assembly | Indicates that the method is accessible to any class of this assembly. | |
| CheckAccessOnOverride | Indicates that the method can only be overridden when it is also accessible. | |
| FamANDAssem | Indicates that the method is accessible to members of this type and its derived types that are in this assembly only. | |
| Family | Indicates that the method is accessible only to members of this class and its derived classes. | |
| FamORAssem | Indicates that the method is accessible to derived classes anywhere, as well as to any class in the assembly. | |
| Final | Indicates that the method cannot be overridden. | |
| HasSecurity | Indicates that the method has security associated with it. Reserved flag for runtime use only. | |
| HideBySig | Indicates that the method hides by name and signature; otherwise, by name only. | |
| MemberAccessMask | Retrieves accessibility information. | |
| NewSlot | Indicates that the method always gets a new slot in the vtable. | |
| PinvokeImpl | Indicates that the method implementation is forwarded through PInvoke (Platform Invocation Services). | |
| Private | Indicates that the method is accessible only to the current class. | |
| PrivateScope | Indicates that the member cannot be referenced. | |
| Public | Indicates that the method is accessible to any object for which this object is in scope. | |
| RequireSecObject | Indicates that the method calls another method containing security code. Reserved flag for runtime use only. | |
| ReservedMask | Indicates a reserved flag for runtime use only. | |
| ReuseSlot | Indicates that the method will reuse an existing slot in the vtable. This is the default behavior. | |
| RTSpecialName | Indicates that the common language runtime checks the name encoding. | |
| SpecialName | Indicates that the method is special. The name describes how this method is special. | |
| Static | Indicates that the method is defined on the type; otherwise, it is defined per instance. | |
| UnmanagedExport | Indicates that the managed method is exported by thunk to unmanaged code. | |
| Virtual | Indicates that the method is virtual. | |
| VtableLayoutMask | Retrieves vtable attributes. |
The following example displays some of the attributes of an example method, and an attribute of a property accessor.
