Returns a System.Reflection.EventInfo object reflecting the event that has the specified name, is defined in the type represented by the current instance, and matches the specified binding constraints.
Parameters
- name
- A string containing the name of the event to be returned.
- bindingAttr
- A bitwise combination of System.Reflection.BindingFlags values that control the binding process. If zero is specified, this method returns null.
Returns
A System.Reflection.EventInfo object reflecting the event that is named name, is defined in the type represented by the current instance, and matches the constraints of bindingAttr. If an event matching these criteria is not found, returns null. If the event is not public, the current instance represents a type from a loaded assembly, and the caller does not have sufficient permission, returns null.
If the current instance represents a generic type, this method returns the System.Reflection.EventInfo with the type parameters replaced by the appropriate type arguments.
Permissions
Type Reason System.Security.Permissions.ReflectionPermission Requires permission to retrieve information on non-public members of types in loaded assemblies. See System.Security.Permissions.ReflectionPermissionFlag.TypeInformation.
Exceptions
Type Reason ArgumentNullException name is null.
Remarks
The following System.Reflection.BindingFlags are used to define which events to include in the search:
- Specify either System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance or System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Static to get a return value other than null.
- Specify System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public to include public events in the search.
- Specify System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic to include non-public events(that is, private and protected events) in the search.
The following System.Reflection.BindingFlags value can be used to change how the search works:
- System.Reflection.BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly to search only the events declared on the type, not events that were simply inherited.
Note: For more information, see System.Reflection.BindingFlags.If the current instance represents an unassigned type parameter of a generic type or method, this method searches the events of the class constraint; the events of all interface constraints; and the events of any interfaces inherited from class or interface constraints.
Operation
As described above.
