Provides a robust way specifying binding constraints for reflection based member searching.

MemberReflection

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to use to create custom for reflection-based member discovery.

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using Cuemon.Reflection; // for MemberReflection, MemberReflectionOptions

namespace MyApp.Examples;

public class MemberReflectionExample
{
    public void Demonstrate()
    {
        // Create flags to find only public instance members (excluding inherited)
        BindingFlags flags = new MemberReflection(
            excludePrivate: true,
            excludeStatic: true,
            excludeInheritancePath: true);
        Console.WriteLine(flags);
        // Output: Instance, Public, DeclaredOnly

        // Use the static CreateFlags factory method
        BindingFlags allFlags = MemberReflection.CreateFlags();
        Console.WriteLine(allFlags);
        // Output: Instance, Static, Public, NonPublic

        // Configure via MemberReflectionOptions
        BindingFlags customFlags = MemberReflection.CreateFlags(o =>
        {
            o.ExcludePrivate = true;
            o.ExcludeStatic = true;
        });

        // Use with reflection
        var members = typeof(string).GetMembers(customFlags);
        Console.WriteLine(members.Length); // Number of public instance members on string

}
}

Constructors

Name	Description
MemberReflection(Action<MemberReflectionOptions>)	Initializes a new instance of the MemberReflection class.
MemberReflection(bool, bool, bool, bool)	Initializes a new instance of the MemberReflection class.

Fields

Name	Description
Everything	Defines a binding constraint that allows searching all members of a given type.

Properties

Name	Description
Flags	Gets the binding constraint of this instance.

Methods

Name	Description
CreateFlags(Action<MemberReflectionOptions>)	Creates the binding constraint needed for reflection using the optional setup to reduce the scope. Default is Everything.

Operators

Name	Description
implicit operator BindingFlags(MemberReflection)	Performs an implicit conversion from MemberReflection to BindingFlags.
