Design Patterns Used by Reflection Classes

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

The most commonly used methods in the System.Reflection namespace use a consistent pattern. The members of the Module, Type, and MemberInfo classes use the design patterns shown in the following table.

Member signature

Description

MyInstance[] FindXxx(filter, filterCriteria)

Finds and returns a filtered list of types, or an empty array if no types matching the filter are implemented by the current type.

Example: Type.FindMembers

MyInstance GetXxx(<parameters>)

Returns the type that is uniquely specified by <parameters>. If no such type exists, the member returns a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). Note that <parameters> uniquely specifies an instance.

Example: Type.GetInterface

MyInstance[] GetXxxs()

Returns all the public types. If no public types exist, the member returns an empty array.

Example: Type.GetFields

MyInstance[] GetXxxs(<parameters>)

Returns all the types specified by <parameters>. If no such types exist, the member returns an empty array. Note that <parameters> does not necessarily specify a unique instance.

Another common design pattern is the use of delegates, which are used in reflection to enable filtering of the results set for methods that return arrays of objects.
