Examples

The following example uses the Type.GetFields method to get the field-related information from the FieldInfo class, and then displays field attributes.

using System;
using System.Reflection;

public class FieldInfoClass
{
    public int myField1 = 0;
    protected string myField2 = null;
    public static void Main()
    {
        FieldInfo[] myFieldInfo;
        Type myType = typeof(FieldInfoClass);
        // Get the type and fields of FieldInfoClass.
        myFieldInfo = myType.GetFields(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance
            | BindingFlags.Public);
        Console.WriteLine("\nThe fields of " +
            "FieldInfoClass are \n");
        // Display the field information of FieldInfoClass.
        for(int i = 0; i < myFieldInfo.Length; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nName            : {0}", myFieldInfo[i].Name);
            Console.WriteLine("Declaring Type  : {0}", myFieldInfo[i].DeclaringType);
            Console.WriteLine("IsPublic        : {0}", myFieldInfo[i].IsPublic);
            Console.WriteLine("MemberType      : {0}", myFieldInfo[i].MemberType);
            Console.WriteLine("FieldType       : {0}", myFieldInfo[i].FieldType);
            Console.WriteLine("IsFamily        : {0}", myFieldInfo[i].IsFamily);
        }
    }
}

Imports System.Reflection

Public Class FieldInfoClass
    Public myField1 As Integer = 0
    Protected myField2 As String = Nothing

    Public Shared Sub Main()
        Dim myFieldInfo() As FieldInfo
        Dim myType As Type = GetType(FieldInfoClass)
        ' Get the type and fields of FieldInfoClass.
        myFieldInfo = myType.GetFields(BindingFlags.NonPublic Or _
                      BindingFlags.Instance Or BindingFlags.Public)
        Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.NewLine & "The fields of " & _
                      "FieldInfoClass class are " & ControlChars.NewLine)
        ' Display the field information of FieldInfoClass.
        Dim i As Integer
        For i = 0 To myFieldInfo.Length - 1
            Console.WriteLine(ControlChars.NewLine + "Name            : {0}", myFieldInfo(i).Name)
            Console.WriteLine("Declaring Type  : {0}", myFieldInfo(i).DeclaringType)
            Console.WriteLine("IsPublic        : {0}", myFieldInfo(i).IsPublic)
            Console.WriteLine("MemberType      : {0}", myFieldInfo(i).MemberType)
            Console.WriteLine("FieldType       : {0}", myFieldInfo(i).FieldType)
            Console.WriteLine("IsFamily        : {0}", myFieldInfo(i).IsFamily)
        Next i
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

The field information is obtained from metadata. The FieldInfo class does not have a public constructor. FieldInfo objects are obtained by calling either the GetFields or GetField method of a Type object.

Fields are variables defined in the class. FieldInfo provides access to the metadata for a field within a class and provides dynamic set and get functionality for the field. The class is not loaded into memory until invoke or get is called on the object.

Notes to Implementers

When you inherit from FieldInfo, you must override the following members: GetValue(Object) and SetValue(Object, Object, BindingFlags, Binder, CultureInfo).
