declaringType
A handle to the generic type that defines the constructor or method.
public
MethodImplAttributes
GetMethodImplementationFlags()

public
ParameterInfo[]
GetParameters()
When overridden in a derived class, gets the parameters of the specified method or constructor.
Returns An array of type <see langword="ParameterInfo" /> containing information that matches the signature of the method (or constructor) reflected by this <see langword="MethodBase" /> instance.
public
object
Invoke(object obj,
object[] parameters)
Invokes the method or constructor represented by the current instance, using the specified parameters.
Returns An object containing the return value of the invoked method, or <see langword="null" /> in the case of a constructor.
obj
The object on which to invoke the method or constructor. If a method is static, this argument is ignored. If a constructor is static, this argument must be <see langword="null" /> or an instance of the class that defines the constructor.
parameters
An argument list for the invoked method or constructor. This is an array of objects with the same number, order, and type as the parameters of the method or constructor to be invoked. If there are no parameters, <paramref name="parameters" /> should be <see langword="null" /> .
If the method or constructor represented by this instance takes a <see langword="ref" /> parameter ( <see langword="ByRef" /> in Visual Basic), no special attribute is required for that parameter in order to invoke the method or constructor using this function. Any object in this array that is not explicitly initialized with a value will contain the default value for that object type. For reference-type elements, this value is <see langword="null" /> . For value-type elements, the default value is 0, 0.0, or <see langword="false" /> , depending on the specific element type.
public
object
Invoke(object obj,
BindingFlags invokeAttr,
Binder binder,
object[] parameters,
Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
When overridden in a derived class, invokes the reflected method or constructor with the given parameters.
Returns An <see langword="Object" /> containing the return value of the invoked method, or <see langword="null" /> in the case of a constructor, or <see langword="null" /> if the method's return type is <see langword="void" /> . Before calling the method or constructor, <see langword="Invoke" /> checks to see if the user has access permission and verifies that the parameters are valid.
obj
The object on which to invoke the method or constructor. If a method is static, this argument is ignored. If a constructor is static, this argument must be <see langword="null" /> or an instance of the class that defines the constructor.
invokeAttr
A bitmask that is a combination of 0 or more bit flags from <see cref="T:System.Reflection.BindingFlags" /> .
binder
An object that enables the binding, coercion of argument types, invocation of members, and retrieval of <see langword="MemberInfo" /> objects via reflection. If <paramref name="binder" /> is <see langword="null" /> , the default binder is used.
parameters
An argument list for the invoked method or constructor. This is an array of objects with the same number, order, and type as the parameters of the method or constructor to be invoked. If there are no parameters, this should be <see langword="null" /> .
If the method or constructor represented by this instance takes a ByRef parameter, there is no special attribute required for that parameter in order to invoke the method or constructor using this function. Any object in this array that is not explicitly initialized with a value will contain the default value for that object type. For reference-type elements, this value is <see langword="null" /> . For value-type elements, this value is 0, 0.0, or <see langword="false" /> , depending on the specific element type.
culture
An instance of <see langword="CultureInfo" /> used to govern the coercion of types. If this is <see langword="null" /> , the <see cref="T:System.Globalization.CultureInfo" /> for the current thread is used. (This is necessary to convert a string that represents 1000 to a <see cref="T:System.Double" /> value, for example, since 1000 is represented differently by different cultures.)
