MethodBody.LocalVariables Property

Definition

Gets the list of local variables declared in the method body.

public:
 virtual property System::Collections::Generic::IList<System::Reflection::LocalVariableInfo ^> ^ LocalVariables { System::Collections::Generic::IList<System::Reflection::LocalVariableInfo ^> ^ get(); };
public:
 property System::Collections::Generic::IList<System::Reflection::LocalVariableInfo ^> ^ LocalVariables { System::Collections::Generic::IList<System::Reflection::LocalVariableInfo ^> ^ get(); };
public virtual System.Collections.Generic.IList<System.Reflection.LocalVariableInfo> LocalVariables { get; }
public System.Collections.Generic.IList<System.Reflection.LocalVariableInfo> LocalVariables { get; }
member this.LocalVariables : System.Collections.Generic.IList<System.Reflection.LocalVariableInfo>
Public Overridable ReadOnly Property LocalVariables As IList(Of LocalVariableInfo)
Public ReadOnly Property LocalVariables As IList(Of LocalVariableInfo)

Property Value

An IList<T> of LocalVariableInfo objects that describe the local variables declared in the method body.

Examples

The following code example defines a test method named MethodBodyExample and displays its local variable information. The MethodBase.GetMethodBody method is used to obtain a MethodBody object for the test method. The LocalVariables property is used to obtain a list of LocalVariableInfo objects.

This code example is part of a larger example provided for the MethodBody class.

#using <System.dll>

    // The Main method contains code to analyze this method, using
    // the properties and methods of the MethodBody class.

        // the local variable list includes the variables scoped to 
        // the catch clauses.
        int var1 = 42;
        String^ var2 = "Forty-two";

        try

            // Depending on the input value, throw an ArgumentException or 
            // an ArgumentNullException to test the Catch clauses.
