Type.GetMethod (String, BindingFlags, Binder, CallingConventions, Type[], ParameterModifier[])

Searches for the specified method whose parameters match the specified argument types and modifiers, using the specified binding constraints and the specified calling convention.

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

Parameters

name
The String containing the name of the method to get.
bindingAttr
A bit mask comprised of one or more BindingFlags that specify how the search is conducted.

-or-

zero, to conduct a case-sensitive search for public methods.

binder
A Binder object that defines a set of properties and enables binding, which may involve selection of an overloaded method, coercion of argument types, and invocation of a member through reflection.

-or-

a null reference (in Visual Basic Nothing), to use the DefaultBinder.

callConvention
The CallingConventions object that specifies the set of rules to use regarding the order and layout of arguments, how the return value is passed, what registers are used for arguments and who cleans up the stack.
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 method that matches the specified requirements, if found; otherwise, a null reference (Nothing).

Exceptions

Exception Type Condition
AmbiguousMatchException More than one method is found with the specified name and matching the specified binding constraints.
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 following BindingFlags filter flags can be used to define which methods should be included in the search:

The following BindingFlags modifier flags can be used to change how the search works:

See BindingFlags for more information.
