Remarks

The MemberInfo class is the abstract base class for classes used to obtain information about all members of a class (constructors, events, fields, methods, and properties).

This class introduces the basic functionality that all members provide.

In Silverlight-based applications, you cannot derive new types from MemberInfo.

Examples

The following example displays the member name and type of a specified class.

Imports System.Reflection

Class Example

   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock) 

      ' Get the Type and MemberInfo.
      Dim MyType As Type = GetType(System.Threading.Thread)

      ' Display the MemberType and the member.
      outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("There are {0} members in {1}:" & vbLf, _
         MyType.GetMembers().Length, MyType.FullName)

      For Each mi As MemberInfo In MyType.GetMembers()
         outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("  {0} - {1}" & vbLf, _
            mi.MemberType, mi)
      Next 

   End Sub
End Class
using System;
using System.Reflection;

class Example
{
   public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
   {
      // Get the Type and MemberInfo.
      Type MyType = typeof(System.Threading.Thread);

      // Display the MemberType and the member.
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("There are {0} members in {1}:\n", 
         MyType.GetMembers().Length, MyType.FullName);

      foreach (MemberInfo mi in MyType.GetMembers())
      {
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("  {0} - {1}\n",
            mi.MemberType, mi);
      }
   }
}
