Type.GetProperties Method

Definition

Gets the properties of the current Type.

Overloads

GetProperties()

Returns all the public properties of the current Type.

GetProperties(BindingFlags)

When overridden in a derived class, searches for the properties of the current Type, using the specified binding constraints.

GetProperties()

Source:
Type.cs
Source:
Type.cs
Source:
Type.cs

Returns all the public properties of the current Type.

public:
 cli::array <System::Reflection::PropertyInfo ^> ^ GetProperties();
public:
 virtual cli::array <System::Reflection::PropertyInfo ^> ^ GetProperties();
public System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[] GetProperties ();
member this.GetProperties : unit -> System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[]
abstract member GetProperties : unit -> System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[]
override this.GetProperties : unit -> System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[]
Public Function GetProperties () As PropertyInfo()

Returns

An array of PropertyInfo objects representing all public properties of the current Type.

-or-

An empty array of type PropertyInfo, if the current Type does not have public properties.

Implements

Examples

The following example demonstrates the use of the GetProperties method.

array<PropertyInfo^>^myPropertyInfo;

// Get the properties of 'Type' class object.
myPropertyInfo = Type::GetType( "System.Type" )->GetProperties();
Console::WriteLine( "Properties of System.Type are:" );
for ( int i = 0; i < myPropertyInfo->Length; i++ )
{
   Console::WriteLine( myPropertyInfo[ i ] );

}
PropertyInfo[] myPropertyInfo;
// Get the properties of 'Type' class object.
myPropertyInfo = Type.GetType("System.Type").GetProperties();
Console.WriteLine("Properties of System.Type are:");
for (int i = 0; i < myPropertyInfo.Length; i++)
{
    Console.WriteLine(myPropertyInfo[i].ToString());
}
// Get the properties of 'Type' class object.
let myPropertyInfo = Type.GetType("System.Type").GetProperties()
printfn "Properties of System.Type are:"
for pi in myPropertyInfo do
    printfn $"{pi}"
Dim myPropertyInfo() As PropertyInfo
' Get the properties of 'Type' class object.
myPropertyInfo = Type.GetType("System.Type").GetProperties()
Console.WriteLine("Properties of System.Type are:")
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To myPropertyInfo.Length - 1
   Console.WriteLine(myPropertyInfo(i).ToString())
Next i

Remarks

Calling this overload is equivalent to calling the GetProperties(BindingFlags) overload with a bindingAttr argument equal to BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public in C# and BindingFlags.Instance Or BindingFlags.Static Or BindingFlags.Public in Visual Basic. It returns all public instance and static properties, both those defined by the type represented by the current Type object as well as those inherited from its base types.

A property is considered public to reflection if it has at least one accessor that is public. Otherwise the property is considered private, and you must use BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static (in Visual Basic, combine the values using Or) to get it.

In .NET 6 and earlier versions, the GetProperties method does not return properties in a particular order, such as alphabetical or declaration order. Your code must not depend on the order in which properties are returned, because that order varies. However, starting with .NET 7, the ordering is deterministic based upon the metadata ordering in the assembly.

The following table shows what members of a base class are returned by the Get methods when reflecting on a type.

Member Type Static Non-Static
Constructor No No
Field No Yes. A field is always hide-by-name-and-signature.
Event Not applicable The common type system rule is that the inheritance is the same as that of the methods that implement the property. Reflection treats properties as hide-by-name-and-signature. See note 2 below.
Method No Yes. A method (both virtual and non-virtual) can be hide-by-name or hide-by-name-and-signature.
Nested Type No No
Property Not applicable The common type system rule is that the inheritance is the same as that of the methods that implement the property. Reflection treats properties as hide-by-name-and-signature. See note 2 below.
  1. Hide-by-name-and-signature considers all of the parts of the signature, including custom modifiers, return types, parameter types, sentinels, and unmanaged calling conventions. This is a binary comparison.

  2. For reflection, properties and events are hide-by-name-and-signature. If you have a property with both a get and a set accessor in the base class, but the derived class has only a get accessor, the derived class property hides the base class property, and you will not be able to access the setter on the base class.

  3. Custom attributes are not part of the common type system.

If the current Type represents a constructed generic type, this method returns the PropertyInfo objects with the type parameters replaced by the appropriate type arguments.

If the current Type represents a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method, this method searches the properties of the class constraint.

Parameters

bindingAttr
BindingFlags

A bitwise combination of the enumeration values that specify how the search is conducted.

-or-

Default to return an empty array.

Examples

The following example defines a class named PropertyClass that includes six properties: two are public, one is private, one is protected, one is internal (Friend in Visual Basic), and one is protected internal (Protected Friend in Visual Basic). It then displays some basic property information (the property name and type, whether it's read/write, and the visibility of its get and set accessors) for the properties that match the specified binding constraints.

Remarks

For the GetProperties(BindingFlags) overload to successfully retrieve property information, the bindingAttr argument must include at least one of BindingFlags.Instance and BindingFlags.Static, along with at least one of BindingFlags.NonPublic and BindingFlags.Public.

The following BindingFlags filter flags can be used to define which properties to include in the search:

  • Specify BindingFlags.Instance to include instance methods.

  • Specify BindingFlags.Static to include static methods.

  • Specify BindingFlags.Public to include public properties in the search. A property is considered public to reflection if it has at least one accessor that is public.

  • Specify BindingFlags.NonPublic to include non-public properties (that is, private, internal, and protected properties) in the search. Only protected and internal properties on base classes are returned; private properties on base classes are not returned.

  • Specify BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy to include public and protected static members up the hierarchy; private static members in inherited classes are not included.

  • Specify BindingFlags.Default alone to return an empty PropertyInfo array.

The following BindingFlags modifier flags can be used to change how the search works:

  • BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly to search only the properties declared on the Type, not properties that were simply inherited.

See System.Reflection.BindingFlags for more information.

In .NET 6 and earlier versions, the GetProperties method does not return properties in a particular order, such as alphabetical or declaration order. Your code must not depend on the order in which properties are returned, because that order varies. However, starting with .NET 7, the ordering is deterministic based upon the metadata ordering in the assembly.

If the current Type represents a constructed generic type, this method returns the PropertyInfo objects with the type parameters replaced by the appropriate type arguments.

If the current Type represents a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method, this method searches the properties of the class constraint.
