Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ AssemblyContentType

enum System.Reflection.AssemblyContentType

strong

Provides information about the type of code contained in an assembly.

Enumerator
Default	The assembly contains .NET Framework code.
WindowsRuntime	The assembly contains Windows Runtime code.

Definition at line 9 of file AssemblyContentType.cs.

◆ AssemblyNameFlags

enum System.Reflection.AssemblyNameFlags

strong

Provides information about an T:System.Reflection.Assembly reference.

Enumerator
None	Specifies that no flags are in effect.
PublicKey	Specifies that a public key is formed from the full public key rather than the public key token.
EnableJITcompileOptimizer	Specifies that just-in-time (JIT) compiler optimization is disabled for the assembly. This is the exact opposite of the meaning that is suggested by the member name.
EnableJITcompileTracking	Specifies that just-in-time (JIT) compiler tracking is enabled for the assembly.
Retargetable	Specifies that the assembly can be retargeted at runtime to an assembly from a different publisher. This value supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code.

Definition at line 10 of file AssemblyNameFlags.cs.

◆ BindingFlags

enum System.Reflection.BindingFlags

strong

Specifies flags that control binding and the way in which the search for members and types is conducted by reflection.

Enumerator
Default	Specifies that no binding flags are defined.
IgnoreCase	Specifies that the case of the member name should not be considered when binding.
DeclaredOnly	Specifies that only members declared at the level of the supplied type's hierarchy should be considered. Inherited members are not considered.
Instance	Specifies that instance members are to be included in the search.
Static	Specifies that static members are to be included in the search.
Public	Specifies that public members are to be included in the search.
NonPublic	Specifies that non-public members are to be included in the search.
FlattenHierarchy	Specifies that public and protected static members up the hierarchy should be returned. Private static members in inherited classes are not returned. Static members include fields, methods, events, and properties. Nested types are not returned.
InvokeMethod	Specifies that a method is to be invoked. This must not be a constructor or a type initializer.This flag is passed to an `InvokeMember` method to invoke a method.
CreateInstance	Specifies that reflection should create an instance of the specified type. Calls the constructor that matches the given arguments. The supplied member name is ignored. If the type of lookup is not specified, (Instance \| Public) will apply. It is not possible to call a type initializer.This flag is passed to an `InvokeMember` method to invoke a constructor.
GetField	Specifies that the value of the specified field should be returned.This flag is passed to an `InvokeMember` method to get a field value.
SetField	Specifies that the value of the specified field should be set.This flag is passed to an `InvokeMember` method to set a field value.
GetProperty	Specifies that the value of the specified property should be returned.This flag is passed to an `InvokeMember` method to invoke a property getter.
SetProperty	Specifies that the value of the specified property should be set. For COM properties, specifying this binding flag is equivalent to specifying `PutDispProperty` and `PutRefDispProperty`.This flag is passed to an `InvokeMember` method to invoke a property setter.
PutDispProperty	Specifies that the `PROPPUT` member on a COM object should be invoked. `PROPPUT` specifies a property-setting function that uses a value. Use `PutDispProperty` if a property has both `PROPPUT` and `PROPPUTREF` and you need to distinguish which one is called.
PutRefDispProperty	Specifies that the `PROPPUTREF` member on a COM object should be invoked. `PROPPUTREF` specifies a property-setting function that uses a reference instead of a value. Use `PutRefDispProperty` if a property has both `PROPPUT` and `PROPPUTREF` and you need to distinguish which one is called.
ExactBinding	Specifies that types of the supplied arguments must exactly match the types of the corresponding formal parameters. Reflection throws an exception if the caller supplies a non-null `Binder` object, since that implies that the caller is supplying `BindToXXX` implementations that will pick the appropriate method.
SuppressChangeType	Not implemented.
OptionalParamBinding	Returns the set of members whose parameter count matches the number of supplied arguments. This binding flag is used for methods with parameters that have default values and methods with variable arguments (varargs). This flag should only be used with M:System.Type.InvokeMember(System.String,System.Reflection.BindingFlags,System.Reflection.Binder,System.Object,System.Object[],System.Reflection.ParameterModifier[],System.Globalization.CultureInfo,System.String[]).
IgnoreReturn	Used in COM interop to specify that the return value of the member can be ignored.

Definition at line 10 of file BindingFlags.cs.

◆ CallingConventions

enum System.Reflection.CallingConventions

strong

Defines the valid calling conventions for a method.

Enumerator
Standard	Specifies the default calling convention as determined by the common language runtime. Use this calling convention for static methods. For instance or virtual methods use `HasThis`.
VarArgs	Specifies the calling convention for methods with variable arguments.
Any	Specifies that either the `Standard` or the `VarArgs` calling convention may be used.
HasThis	Specifies an instance or virtual method (not a static method). At run-time, the called method is passed a pointer to the target object as its first argument (the `this` pointer). The signature stored in metadata does not include the type of this first argument, because the method is known and its owner class can be discovered from metadata.
ExplicitThis	Specifies that the signature is a function-pointer signature, representing a call to an instance or virtual method (not a static method). If `ExplicitThis` is set, `HasThis` must also be set. The first argument passed to the called method is still a `this` pointer, but the type of the first argument is now unknown. Therefore, a token that describes the type (or class) of the `this` pointer is explicitly stored into its metadata signature.

Definition at line 10 of file CallingConventions.cs.

◆ EventAttributes

enum System.Reflection.EventAttributes

strong

Specifies the attributes of an event.

Enumerator
None	Specifies that the event has no attributes.
SpecialName	Specifies that the event is special in a way described by the name.
ReservedMask	Specifies a reserved flag for common language runtime use only.
RTSpecialName	Specifies that the common language runtime should check name encoding.

Definition at line 10 of file EventAttributes.cs.

◆ ExceptionHandlingClauseOptions

enum System.Reflection.ExceptionHandlingClauseOptions

strong

Identifies kinds of exception-handling clauses.

Enumerator
Clause	The clause accepts all exceptions that derive from a specified type.
Filter	The clause contains user-specified instructions that determine whether the exception should be ignored (that is, whether normal execution should resume), be handled by the associated handler, or be passed on to the next clause.
Finally	The clause is executed whenever the try block exits, whether through normal control flow or because of an unhandled exception.
Fault	The clause is executed if an exception occurs, but not on completion of normal control flow.

Definition at line 8 of file ExceptionHandlingClauseOptions.cs.

◆ FieldAttributes

enum System.Reflection.FieldAttributes

strong

Specifies flags that describe the attributes of a field.

Enumerator
FieldAccessMask	Specifies the access level of a given field.
PrivateScope	Specifies that the field cannot be referenced.
Private	Specifies that the field is accessible only by the parent type.
FamANDAssem	Specifies that the field is accessible only by subtypes in this assembly.
Assembly	Specifies that the field is accessible throughout the assembly.
Family	Specifies that the field is accessible only by type and subtypes.
FamORAssem	Specifies that the field is accessible by subtypes anywhere, as well as throughout this assembly.
Public	Specifies that the field is accessible by any member for whom this scope is visible.
