Here is a short sample of the problem.
public class test : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button Button1;
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox TextBox1;
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label Label1;
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button Button2;
private string TestValue;
public string TestValue2;
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
ParseMambers(this);
}
// Web Page Initialize code omitted...
private int ParseMembers(object StateObj)
{
Type T = StateObj.GetType();
int Count = 0;
MemberInfo[] MemberArray;
BindingFlags BindFlags = BindingFlags.Instance |
BindingFlags.Static |
BindingFlags.Public |
BindingFlags.NonPublic;
MemberArray = T.GetMembers(BindFlags);
foreach (MemberInfo M in MemberArray)
{
if (M.Name == "TestValue")
{
Count++;
}
if (M.Name == "TestValue2")
{
Count++;
}
}
}
// When we get here, Count will only be 1, it should be 2.
return Count;
}
Note, that if I change TestValue to public, then Count is 2 when calling
ParseMembers.
The wierd this is that this problem only seems to be localized to the main
web Page object. If I declare some other class with private fields, it
seems to work fine.

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.

news:b8**************************@msnews.microsoft .com... 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?
