Examples

The following example displays the names of the members of the ReflectionTypeLoadException class and their associated member types.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Reflection;
 
void main() 
{
    // Get the type of a chosen class.
    Type^ t = ReflectionTypeLoadException::typeid;

    // Get the MemberInfo array.
    array<MemberInfo^>^ members = t->GetMembers();

    // Get and display the name and the MemberType for each member.
    Console::WriteLine("Members of {0}", t->Name);
    for each (MemberInfo^ member in members) { 
        MemberTypes memberType = member->MemberType; 
        Console::WriteLine("   {0}: {1}", member->Name, memberType);
    }
}

Remarks

These enumeration values are returned by the following properties:

• Type.MemberType.

• MemberInfo.MemberType.

• System.Reflection.ConstructorInfo.

• System.Reflection.EventInfo.

• System.Reflection.FieldInfo.

• System.Reflection.MethodInfo.

• System.Reflection.PropertyInfo.

To obtain the MemberTypes value for a type:

1. Get a Type object that represents that type.

2. Retrieve the value of the Type.MemberType property.

To get the MemberTypes values for the members of a type.:

1. Get a Type object that represents that type.

2. Retrieve the MemberInfo array that represents the members of that type by calling the Type.GetMembers method.

3. Retrieve the value of the From the MemberInfo.MemberType property for each member in the array. A switch statement in C# or Select Case statement in Visual Basic is typically used to process member types.

MemberTypes matches CorTypeAttr as defined in the corhdr.h file.
