Re: Having problem getting private members using reflection.

Private members from the concrete class or the base class? IIRC, there's one last bit of detail where private base class members are inaccessible via reflection on the derived type. You have to walk up to the Type.BaseType to fetch privates. Perhaps this is the problem?

I am using the BindingFlags that you indicated, and I still cannot get
private members.

You need to use the overload that accepts a BindingFlags with this

bitmask:

BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance

The simple version of GetMembers only returns the public ones (and
maybe internal and protected too. I can't remember exactly).

As for the ReflectionPermission, if you're running in FullTrust you
have the permission. This security check is so mobile downloaded code
won't be able to scrape thru all private members changing their
values. That would be a problem.

I have an ASP.NET application that is calling a custom class that is
trying to parse all of the members of my Page object using
Type.GetMembers().  The problem that I am having is that private
members are not returned.  I did some digging and the MSDN
documentation states that the caller must have ReflectionPermission
in order to get the private members of a class.  I am a little
unfamiliar with this stipulation.  I have checked the docs on
ReflectionPermission, but the examples do not make much sense.
Could someone please clarify on what I need to do in order for my
code to be able to parse private members of my Page using
reflection?
