Returns all the public methods of the current Type.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Function GetMethods As MethodInfo()
public MethodInfo[] GetMethods()
public:
array<MethodInfo^>^ GetMethods()
member GetMethods : unit -> MethodInfo[]
public function GetMethods() : MethodInfo[]
Return Value
Type: array<System.Reflection. . :: . .MethodInfo> [] () [] []
An array of MethodInfo objects representing all the public methods defined for the current Type.
-or-
An empty array of type MethodInfo, if no public methods are defined for the current Type.
Remarks
The GetMethods method does not return methods in a particular order, such as alphabetical or declaration order. Your code must not depend on the order in which methods are returned, because that order varies.
Constructors are not included in the array of methods returned by this call. Make a separate call to GetConstructors() to get the constructor methods.
The following table shows what members of a base class are returned by the Get methods when reflecting on a type.
Member Type |
Static |
Non-Static |
|---|---|---|
Constructor |
No |
No |
Field |
No |
Yes. A field is always hide-by-name-and-signature. |
Event |
Not applicable |
The common type system rule is that the inheritance is the same as that of the methods that implement the property. Reflection treats properties as hide-by-name-and-signature. See note 2 below. |
Method |
No |
Yes. A method (both virtual and non-virtual) can be hide-by-name or hide-by-name-and-signature. |
Nested Type |
No |
No |
Property |
Not applicable |
The common type system rule is that the inheritance is the same as that of the methods that implement the property. Reflection treats properties as hide-by-name-and-signature. See note 2 below. |
Hide-by-name-and-signature considers all of the parts of the signature, including custom modifiers, return types, parameter types, sentinels, and unmanaged calling conventions. This is a binary comparison.
For reflection, properties and events are hide-by-name-and-signature. If you have a property with both a get and a set accessor in the base class, but the derived class has only a get accessor, the derived class property hides the base class property, and you will not be able to access the setter on the base class.
Custom attributes are not part of the common type system.
If the current Type represents a constructed generic type, this method returns the MethodInfo objects with the type parameters replaced by the appropriate type arguments.
If the current Type represents a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method, this method searches the methods of the class constraint, or the methods of Object if there is no class constraint.
