Abstract. This method must be implemented by a derived class.
The types array and the modifiers array have the same length. A parameter specified in the types array can have the following attributes, which are specified in the modifiers array: pdIn, pdOut, pdLcid, pdRetval, pdOptional, and pdHasDefault, which represent [in], [out], [lcid], [retval], [optional], and a value specifying whether the parameter has a default value. A parameter's associated attributes are stored in the metadata and are used for interoperability.
If an exact match does not exist, the binder will attempt to coerce the parameter types specified in the types array in order to select a match. If the binder is unable to select a match, then a null reference (Nothing) is returned.
The following BindingFlags filter flags can be used to define which constructors should be included in the search:
See BindingFlags for more information.
This method implements GetConstructor. GetConstructor and GetConstructorImpl cannot be used to obtain a class initializer. Class initializers are available only through GetMember, GetMembers, FindMembers, and GetConstructors.
