PropertyInfo.GetSetMethod Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Reflection

Assembly:

System.Runtime.dll

Returns a MethodInfo representing the set accessor for this property.

Overloads

GetSetMethod(Boolean)	When overridden in a derived class, returns the set accessor for this property.
GetSetMethod()	Returns the public set accessor for this property.

GetSetMethod(Boolean)

Source:

PropertyInfo.cs

When overridden in a derived class, returns the set accessor for this property.

public:
 abstract System::Reflection::MethodInfo ^ GetSetMethod(bool nonPublic);

public abstract System.Reflection.MethodInfo? GetSetMethod (bool nonPublic);

abstract member GetSetMethod : bool -> System.Reflection.MethodInfo

Public MustOverride Function GetSetMethod (nonPublic As Boolean) As MethodInfo

Parameters

nonPublic

Boolean

Indicates whether the accessor should be returned if it is non-public. true if a non-public accessor is to be returned; otherwise, false.

Returns

MethodInfo

This property's Set method, or null, as shown in the following table.

Value	Condition
The Set method for this property.	The set accessor is public, OR nonPublic is true and the set accessor is non-public.
null	nonPublic is true, but the property is read-only, OR nonPublic is false and the set accessor is non-public, OR there is no set accessor.

Exceptions

SecurityException

The requested method is non-public and the caller does not have ReflectionPermission to reflect on this non-public method.

Examples

The following example displays the set accessor for the specified property.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;

// Define a property.
public ref class Myproperty

   String^ caption;

public:

   property String^ Caption

Remarks

To use the GetSetMethod method, first get the class Type. From the Type, get the PropertyInfo. From the PropertyInfo, use the GetSetMethod method.

GetSetMethod()

Source:

PropertyInfo.cs

Returns the public set accessor for this property.

public:
 System::Reflection::MethodInfo ^ GetSetMethod();

public System.Reflection.MethodInfo? GetSetMethod ();

member this.GetSetMethod : unit -> System.Reflection.MethodInfo

Public Function GetSetMethod () As MethodInfo

Returns

MethodInfo

The MethodInfo object representing the Set method for this property if the set accessor is public, or null if the set accessor is not public.

Remarks

This is a convenience method that provides an implementation for the abstract GetSetMethod method with the nonPublic parameter set to false.

To use the GetSetMethod method, first get the class Type. From the Type, get the PropertyInfo. From the PropertyInfo, use the GetSetMethod method.
