System.Reflection.MemberTypes Enumeration

Summary

Marks each type of member that is defined as a derived class of MemberInfo.

C# Syntax:

[Serializable] public enum MemberTypes

These enum values are returned by Type.MemberType and are useful in switch statements.MemberTypes matches CorTypeAttr as defined in the corhdr.h file.

To obtain the MemberTypes value for a method:

• First get a Type.
• From the Type, get the MemberInfo array.
• From the MemberInfo array, get the MemberType.

 using System;
 using System.Reflection;
 
 class membertypesenum {
 
    public static int Main(string[] args) {
 
        Console.WriteLine ("\nReflection.MemberTypes");
        
        MemberTypes Mymembertypes;
 
        //Get the type 
        Type Mytype = Type.GetType
        ("System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException");
 
        //Get the MemberInfo array 
        MemberInfo[] Mymembersinfoarray = Mytype.GetMembers();
 
        //Get and display the name and the MemberType for each member
 
        foreach (MemberInfo Mymemberinfo in Mymembersinfoarray) { 
            Console.Write ("\n" + Mymemberinfo.Name);
            Mymembertypes = Mymemberinfo.MemberType; 
            Console.Write (" is a " + Mymembertypes.ToString()); 
        }
 
        return 0;
 
    }
 
 }

    

This code produces the following output:
