ParameterInfo::Name Property

 

Gets the name of the parameter.

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

public:
property String^ Name {
	virtual String^ get();
}

Property Value

Type: System::String^

The simple name of this parameter.

This property utilizes the protected NameImpl field, and depends on an optional metadata flag that might not be available in all compilers.

To get the ParameterInfo array, first get the method or the constructor and then call the MethodBase::GetParameters method.

System_CAPS_warningWarning

If this ParameterInfo represents a return value (that is, if it was obtained by using the MethodInfo::ReturnParameter property), this property will be null.

The following example shows how to get ParameterInfo objects for the parameters of a method, and then use the Name property to obtain the parameter names.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;
using namespace System::Runtime::InteropServices;
public ref class parminfo
{
public:
   static void mymethod( int int1m, [Out]interior_ptr<String^> str2m, interior_ptr<String^> str3m )
   {
       *str2m = "in mymethod";
   }

};

int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "\nReflection.Parameterinfo" );

   //Get the ParameterInfo parameter of a function.
   //Get the type.
   Type^ Mytype = Type::GetType( "parminfo" );

   //Get and display the method.
   MethodBase^ Mymethodbase = Mytype->GetMethod( "mymethod" );
   Console::Write( "\nMymethodbase = {0}", Mymethodbase );

   //Get the ParameterInfo array.
   array<ParameterInfo^>^Myarray = Mymethodbase->GetParameters();

   //Get and display the name of each parameter.
   System::Collections::IEnumerator^ enum0 = Myarray->GetEnumerator();
   while ( enum0->MoveNext() )
   {
      ParameterInfo^ Myparam = safe_cast<ParameterInfo^>(enum0->Current);
      Console::Write( "\nFor parameter # {0}, the Name is - {1}", Myparam->Position, Myparam->Name );
   }

   return 0;
}

/*
This code produces the following output:

Reflection.ParameterInfo

Mymethodbase
= Void mymethod (Int32, System.String ByRef, System.String ByRef)
For parameter # 0, the Name is - int1m
For parameter # 1, the Name is - str2m
For parameter # 2, the Name is - str3m
