Type.GetMethod (String, Type[], ParameterModifier[])

Searches for the specified public method whose parameters match the specified argument types and modifiers.

[Visual Basic]
Overloads Public Function GetMethod( _
   ByVal name As String, _
   ByVal types() As Type, _
   ByVal modifiers() As ParameterModifier _
) As MethodInfo
[C#]
public MethodInfo GetMethod(
   string name,
   Type[] types,
   ParameterModifier[] modifiers
);
[C++]
public: MethodInfo* GetMethod(
   String* name,
   Type* types[],
   ParameterModifier* modifiers[]
);
[JScript]
public function GetMethod(
   name : String,
   types : Type[],
   modifiers : ParameterModifier[]
) : MethodInfo;

Parameters

name
The String containing the name of the public method to get.
types
An array of Type objects representing the number, order, and type of the parameters for the method to get.

-or-

An empty array of the type Type (that is, Type[] types = new Type[0]) to get a method that takes no parameters.

modifiers
An array of ParameterModifier objects representing the attributes associated with the corresponding element in the types array.

Return Value

A MethodInfo object representing the public method that matches the specified requirements, if found; otherwise, a null reference (in Visual Basic Nothing).

Exceptions

Exception Type Condition
AmbiguousMatchException More than one method is found with the specified name and specified parameters.
ArgumentNullException name is a null reference (Nothing).

-or-

types is a null reference (Nothing).

-or-

One of the elements in types is a null reference (Nothing).

SecurityException The requested method is non-public and the caller does not have ReflectionPermission to reflect non-public members outside the current assembly.
ArgumentException types is multidimensional.

-or-

modifiers is multidimensional.

-or-

types and modifiers do not have the same length.

(?)

Remarks

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.

The search for name is case-sensitive.
