Question

Given this class

class Foo {     // Want to find _bar with reflection     [SomeAttribute]     private string _bar;      public string BigBar     {         get { return this._bar; }     } } 

I want to find the private item _bar that I will mark with a attribute. Is that possible?

I have done this with properties where I have looked for an attribute, but never a private member field.

What are the binding flags that I need to set to get the private fields?

Answer 1

Use BindingFlags.NonPublic and BindingFlags.Instance flags

FieldInfo[] fields = myType.GetFields(                          BindingFlags.NonPublic |                           BindingFlags.Instance);
