GetConstructor method and private constructors

I am using reflection to read an assembly and I have a class that has
only a private constructor. However when I use the following method.
Type.GetConstru ctors(BindFlags .NonPublic);
It does not pick up the private constructor. Instead it reads that
there are no constructors. How do I use this method to determine there

is a private constructor there?

You need GetConstructors (BindingFlags.N onPublic |
BindingFlags.In stance);

I am writing a class that includes several async methods following the BeginXxx, EndXxx pattern. Some of these methods will call methods in the framework such as Stream.Read or Socket.Send. Do I need to, or is it recommended to use the async method calls instead (Stream.BeginRead, etc)? Example: MyMethod() { //...

Hi all, The following (test) program is not working as I expected. Note: The code is a bit long but is easy to understand: There is a class Object implementing ref counting. A Ref<T> template (with a full Ref<Object> specialization) that works like a smart pointer to the Object-rooted hierarchy. The only way to create Object instances is via a static factory that returns a Ref<Object> to a heap allocated object.

Hi I want to refer a class called LogEvent, and use one of its methods called WriteMessage without actually having to create an instance of Logevent. I have tried using the word sealed with the class and this works but I would also like to know of other ways to do this. Also are there any performance implacations of using sealed?

I have an abstract class, and a set of classes that inherit from my abstract class. The fact that it is abstract is likely irrelevant. I have a static factory method in my abstract class that creates subclasses. The constructor in my subclasses must be able to call the constructor in my base class. For the factory method in my abstract class to call the constructor on my subclasses, the constructor in the subclass MUST be public (or...

Is it possible to call a method from a parent object, but have the childs overriden method called instead of the base method? I want several children objects to all call a certain method when they are initialized, but they all have different implementations of that method. thanks

I have the following business entity classes shown below.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
