ParameterAttributes Enumeration

 

Defines the attributes that can be associated with a parameter. These are defined in CorHdr.h.

This enumeration has a FlagsAttribute attribute that allows a bitwise combination of its member values.

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

<SerializableAttribute>
<FlagsAttribute>
<ComVisibleAttribute(True)>
Public Enumeration ParameterAttributes

Member nameDescription
HasDefault

Specifies that the parameter has a default value.

HasFieldMarshal

Specifies that the parameter has field marshaling information.

In

Specifies that the parameter is an input parameter.

Lcid

Specifies that the parameter is a locale identifier (lcid).

None

Specifies that there is no parameter attribute.

Optional

Specifies that the parameter is optional.

Out

Specifies that the parameter is an output parameter.

Reserved3

Reserved.

Reserved4

Reserved.

ReservedMask

Specifies that the parameter is reserved.

Retval

Specifies that the parameter is a return value.

To get the ParameterAttributes value, first get the Type. From the Type, get the ParameterInfo array. The ParameterAttributes value is within the array.

These enumerator values are dependent on optional metadata. Not all attributes are available from all compilers. See the appropriate compiler instructions to determine which enumerated values are available.

The following example displays the attributes of the specified parameter.

Imports System.Reflection
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic

Class paramatt

    Public Shared Sub mymethod(ByVal str1 As String, ByRef str2 As String, _
    ByRef str3 As String)
        str2 = "string"
    End Sub

    Public Shared Function Main() As Integer
        Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.CrLf + "Reflection.ParameterAttributes")

        ' Get the Type and the method.
        Dim Mytype As Type = Type.GetType("paramatt")
        Dim Mymethodbase As MethodBase = Mytype.GetMethod("mymethod")

        ' Display the method.
        Console.WriteLine("Mymethodbase = " + Mymethodbase.ToString())

        ' Get the ParameterInfo array.
        Dim Myarray As ParameterInfo() = Mymethodbase.GetParameters()

        ' Get and display the attributes for the second parameter.
        Dim Myparamattributes As ParameterAttributes = Myarray(1).Attributes

        Console.WriteLine("For the second parameter:" + ControlChars.CrLf _
           + "Myparamattributes = " + CInt(Myparamattributes).ToString() _
           + ", which is a " + Myparamattributes.ToString())

        Return 0
    End Function
End Class
