Examples

The following example displays the type of the specified member.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;
int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "Reflection.MethodInfo" );
   
   // Get the Type and MethodInfo.
   Type^ MyType = Type::GetType( "System.Reflection.FieldInfo" );
   MethodInfo^ Mymethodinfo = MyType->GetMethod( "GetValue" );
   Console::WriteLine( "{0}.{1}", MyType->FullName, Mymethodinfo->Name );
   
   // Get and display the MemberType property.
   MemberTypes Mymembertypes = Mymethodinfo->MemberType;
   if ( MemberTypes::Constructor == Mymembertypes )
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "MemberType is of type All." );
   }

Remarks

This property overrides MemberInfo.MemberType. Therefore, when you examine a set of MemberInfo objects - for example, the array returned by GetMembers - the MemberType property returns MemberTypes.Method only when a given member is a method.

To get the MemberType property, first get the class Type. From the Type, get the MethodInfo. From the MethodInfo, get the MemberType.
