MethodBase::IsSpecialName Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets a value indicating whether this method has a special name.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
The SpecialName bit is set to flag members that are treated in a special way by some compilers (such as property accessors and operator overloading methods).
This example shows a use of IsSpecialName to filter internal or private members out of a list.
using namespace System; using namespace System::IO; using namespace System::Reflection; using namespace System::Text; public ref class Sample { protected: bool ShowMethods; StreamWriter^ myWriter; private: void DumpMethods( Type^ aType ) { if ( !ShowMethods ) return; array<MethodInfo^>^mInfo = aType->GetMethods(); myWriter->WriteLine( "Methods" ); bool found = false; if ( mInfo->Length != 0 ) { for ( int i = 0; i < mInfo->Length; i++ ) { // Only display methods declared in this type. Also // filter out any methods with special names, because these // cannot be generally called by the user. That is, their // functionality is usually exposed in other ways, for example, // property get/set methods are exposed as properties. if ( mInfo[ i ]->DeclaringType == aType && !mInfo[ i ]->IsSpecialName ) { found = true; StringBuilder^ modifiers = gcnew StringBuilder; if ( mInfo[ i ]->IsStatic ) { modifiers->Append( "static " ); } if ( mInfo[ i ]->IsPublic ) { modifiers->Append( "public " ); } if ( mInfo[ i ]->IsFamily ) { modifiers->Append( "protected " ); } if ( mInfo[ i ]->IsAssembly ) { modifiers->Append( "internal " ); } if ( mInfo[ i ]->IsPrivate ) { modifiers->Append( "private " ); } myWriter->WriteLine( "{0} {1}", modifiers, mInfo[ i ] ); } } } if ( !found ) { myWriter->WriteLine( "(none)" ); } } };
