How can I determine the accessibility of a MemberInfo instance?

Question

I know the BindingFlags are used to fetch public and non-public members from a Type.

But is there a way to determine if a MemberInfo instance (or derived like PropertyInfo, MethodInfo) is public or not (after it was returned from one of the methods on Type)?

Thanx, Marc

Answer 1

Hmm... good question.

PropertyInfo, MethodBase etc each have an Attributes property which has this information - but there's nothing in MemberInfo, because each kind of member has its own kind of attributes enum. Hideous as it is, I think you may need to treat each subclass of MemberInfo separately :( You can probably switch on MemberInfo.MemberType and then cast, which will be slightly nicer than lots of as/test-for-null branches, but it's still not ideal :(
