Parameters

name

A string containing the name of the property 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.PropertyInfo object reflecting the property defined in the type represented by the current instance that matches the specified criteria. If no matching property is found, returns null . If the type reflected by the current instance is contained in a loaded assembly, the property that matches the specified criteria is not public, and the caller does not have sufficient permission, returns null.

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
System.Reflection.AmbiguousMatchException	More than one property matching the specified criteria was found.
ArgumentNullException	name is null.

Remarks

The following System.Reflection.BindingFlags are used to define which members 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 members in the search.
• Specify System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic to include non-public members (that is, private and protected members) in the search.

The following System.Reflection.BindingFlags values can be used to change how the search works:

• System.Reflection.BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly to search only the members declared in the type, not members that were simply inherited.
• System.Reflection.BindingFlags.IgnoreCase to ignore the case of name.

Note: For more information, see System.Reflection.BindingFlags.

This version of Type.GetProperty(string, System.Reflection.BindingFlags, System.Reflection.Binder, Type, Type[], System.Reflection.ParameterModifier[]) is equivalent to Type.GetPropertyImpl(string, System.Reflection.BindingFlags, System.Reflection.Binder, Type, Type[], System.Reflection.ParameterModifier[])(name, bindingAttr, null, null, null, null).

The search for name is case-sensitive.

If the current instance represents a generic type, this method returns the System.Reflection.PropertyInfo with the type parameters replaced by the appropriate type arguments.

If the current instance represents an unassigned type parameter of a generic type or method, this method searches the properties of the class constraint; the properties of all interface constraints; and the properties of any interfaces inherited from class or interface constraints.
