PropertyInfo.GetGetMethod Method

Returns the public get accessor for this property.

public:
 virtual System::Reflection::MethodInfo ^ GetGetMethod();

public System.Reflection.MethodInfo GetGetMethod ();

abstract member GetGetMethod : unit -> System.Reflection.MethodInfo
override this.GetGetMethod : unit -> System.Reflection.MethodInfo

Public Function GetGetMethod () As MethodInfo

Returns

Implements

Remarks

This is a convenience method that provides an implementation for the abstract GetGetMethod method with the nonPublic parameter set to false.

To use the GetGetMethod method, first get the class Type. From the Type, get the PropertyInfo. From the PropertyInfo, use the GetGetMethod method.

The following example displays the public or non-public get accessor for the specified property.

Remarks

This property is the MethodInfo representing the get accessor.

To use the GetGetMethod method, first get the class Type. From the Type, get the PropertyInfo. From the PropertyInfo, use the GetGetMethod method.
