Question

I know how to get the properties using reflection but how would you get the function name and type of a property:

For Example: Combobox.Items.Add

I would like to get the info. for “Add” with reflection. Is this possible in .Net?

Answer 1

You can use Reflection to get a MethodInfo object that describes the method:

MethodInfo[] method = Combobox.Items.GetType().GetMethods();

Once you have this, you can use the methods and properties of MethodInfo
to access and view information about the method.

To get the parameters that this method receives:

        MethodInfo[] method = Combobox.Items.GetType().GetMethods();

       // equivalent to previous code.
       // MethodInfo[] method = typeof(ObjectCollection).GetMethods();

        MethodInfo someMethod = method[0];

        ParameterInfo[] parameters = someMethod.GetParameters();
