Remarks

MethodBase is the base class of MethodInfo and ConstructorInfo.

Constructors

MethodBase()

Initializes a new instance of the MethodBase class.

Properties

Attributes

Gets the attributes associated with this method.

CallingConvention

Gets a value indicating the calling conventions for this method.

ContainsGenericParameters

Gets a value indicating whether the generic method contains unassigned generic type parameters.

IsAbstract

Gets a value indicating whether the method is abstract.

IsAssembly

Gets a value indicating whether the potential visibility of this method or constructor is described by Assembly; that is, the method or constructor is visible at most to other types in the same assembly, and is not visible to derived types outside the assembly.

IsConstructor

Gets a value indicating whether the method is a constructor.

IsFamily

Gets a value indicating whether the visibility of this method or constructor is described by Family; that is, the method or constructor is visible only within its class and derived classes.

IsFamilyAndAssembly

Gets a value indicating whether the visibility of this method or constructor is described by FamANDAssem; that is, the method or constructor can be called by derived classes, but only if they are in the same assembly.

IsFamilyOrAssembly

Gets a value indicating whether the potential visibility of this method or constructor is described by FamORAssem; that is, the method or constructor can be called by derived classes wherever they are, and by classes in the same assembly.

IsFinal

Gets a value indicating whether this method is final.

IsGenericMethod

Gets a value indicating whether the method is generic.

IsGenericMethodDefinition

Gets a value indicating whether the method is a generic method definition.

IsHideBySig

Gets a value indicating whether only a member of the same kind with exactly the same signature is hidden in the derived class.

IsPrivate

Gets a value indicating whether this member is private.

IsPublic

Gets a value indicating whether this is a public method.

IsSecurityCritical

Gets a value that indicates whether the current method or constructor is security-critical or security-safe-critical at the current trust level, and therefore can perform critical operations.

IsSecuritySafeCritical

Gets a value that indicates whether the current method or constructor is security-safe-critical at the current trust level; that is, whether it can perform critical operations and can be accessed by transparent code.

IsSecurityTransparent

Gets a value that indicates whether the current method or constructor is transparent at the current trust level, and therefore cannot perform critical operations.

IsSpecialName

Gets a value indicating whether this method has a special name.

IsStatic

Gets a value indicating whether the method is static.

IsVirtual

Gets a value indicating whether the method is virtual.

MethodHandle

Gets a handle to the internal metadata representation of a method.

MethodImplementationFlags

Gets the MethodImplAttributes flags that specify the attributes of a method implementation.

Methods

Equals(Object)

Returns a value that indicates whether this instance is equal to a specified object.

GetCurrentMethod()

Returns a MethodBase object representing the currently executing method.

GetGenericArguments()

Returns an array of Type objects that represent the type arguments of a generic method or the type parameters of a generic method definition.

GetHashCode()

Returns the hash code for this instance.

GetMethodBody()

When overridden in a derived class, gets a MethodBody object that provides access to the MSIL stream, local variables, and exceptions for the current method.

GetMethodFromHandle(RuntimeMethodHandle)

Gets method information by using the method's internal metadata representation (handle).

GetMethodFromHandle(RuntimeMethodHandle, RuntimeTypeHandle)

Gets a MethodBase object for the constructor or method represented by the specified handle, for the specified generic type.

GetMethodImplementationFlags()

When overridden in a derived class, returns the MethodImplAttributes flags.

GetParameters()

When overridden in a derived class, gets the parameters of the specified method or constructor.

Invoke(Object, BindingFlags, Binder, Object[], CultureInfo)

When overridden in a derived class, invokes the reflected method or constructor with the given parameters.

Invoke(Object, Object[])

Invokes the method or constructor represented by the current instance, using the specified parameters.

Operators

Equality(MethodBase, MethodBase)

Indicates whether two MethodBase objects are equal.

Inequality(MethodBase, MethodBase)

Indicates whether two MethodBase objects are not equal.

Explicit Interface Implementations

_MethodBase.GetIDsOfNames(Guid, IntPtr, UInt32, UInt32, IntPtr)

Maps a set of names to a corresponding set of dispatch identifiers.

_MethodBase.GetType()
