Synopsis

This interface defines how types are reflected and provides all the relevant information about the members of a class (methods, fields, and properties). The Get methods allow access to these members. The methods GetField( ), GetMethod( ), GetProperty( ), and GetMember( ) return single members of the specified type by name. The methods GetFields( ), GetMethods( ), GetProperties( ), and GetMembers( ) return all of the specified type of members contained by the class.
