Question

I’m trying to mine information from an assembly using reflection, and one of the things I’d like to know (give that it is actually a thing to know) is if a field is volatile or not. In other words, if I have the following class

public class Test {
    public volatile int Counter = 0;
}

is there any way I can (with reflection) figure out that the Test.Counter field is indeed volatile? Or is that simply not exported at all?

You could use the GetRequiredCustomModifiers method:

var field = typeof(Test).GetField("Counter");
bool isVolatile = field
    .GetRequiredCustomModifiers()
    .Any(x => x == typeof(IsVolatile));
