Gets a value indicating whether this is a public method.

public:
 property bool IsPublic { bool get(); };

public bool IsPublic { get; }

member this.IsPublic : bool

Public ReadOnly Property IsPublic As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if this method is public; otherwise, false.

Implements

IsPublic

Examples

The following example uses the IsPublic property to display a message that indicates whether the specified method is public.

int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "\nReflection.MethodBase" );
   
   //Get the MethodBase of a method.
   //Get the type
   Type^ MyType = Type::GetType( "System.MulticastDelegate" );
   
   //Get and display the method
   MethodBase^ Mymethodbase = MyType->GetMethod( "RemoveImpl", static_cast<BindingFlags>(BindingFlags::NonPublic | BindingFlags::Instance) );
   Console::Write( "\nMymethodbase = {0}", Mymethodbase );
   bool Myispublic = Mymethodbase->IsPublic;
   if ( Myispublic )
      Console::Write( "\nMymethodbase is a public method" );
   else
      Console::Write( "\nMymethodbase is not a public method" );

   return 0;
}

/*
Produces the following output

Reflection.MethodBase
Mymethodbase = System.Delegate RemoveImpl (System.Delegate)
Mymethodbase is not a public method
*/

class methodbase
{
   public static int Main(string[] args)
   {

      Console.WriteLine("\nReflection.MethodBase");

      //Get the MethodBase of a method.

      //Get the type
      Type MyType = Type.GetType("System.MulticastDelegate");

      //Get and display the method
      MethodBase Mymethodbase =
         MyType.GetMethod("RemoveImpl",BindingFlags.NonPublic);

      Console.Write("\nMymethodbase = " + Mymethodbase);

      bool Myispublic = Mymethodbase.IsPublic;
      if (Myispublic)
         Console.Write ("\nMymethodbase is a public method");
      else
         Console.Write ("\nMymethodbase is not a public method");

      return 0;
   }
}
/*

        Else
            Console.Write(ControlChars.Cr _
               + "Mymethodbase is not a public method")
        End If 
        Return 0
    End Function
End Class

' Produces the following output
' 
' Reflection.MethodBase
' Mymethodbase = System.Delegate RemoveImpl (System.Delegate)
' Mymethodbase is not a public method

Remarks

To get the MethodBase, first get the type. From the type, get the method. From the method, get the MethodBase. If the MethodBase or constructor is other than public, it is protected and cannot be readily accessed. To access a non-public method, set the BindingFlags mask to NonPublic in GetMethod.
