Get field info of base class with reflection

[Rotsey]

Hi,

I have a class that exist in my UI assembly that inherits from a class
in a referenced assembly like this.

class EmployeesDC
{
private string mstrEmployeeNum ber;

etc
}

class EmployeesBL : EmployeesDC
{
}

Then in UI Assembly

class Employees : EmployeesBL
{
}

Can someone give me the code so I can get info on the private fields
in EmployeesDC using reflection.

I have googled but I am still not clear how??

thanks
rotsey

OK thanks for your input.

This is my whoe class in the UI assembly

public class Employees : EmployeesBL, ILoadableData, ILookUpObject

{

public Employees()

{

ConnectString = TBRSettings.Ins tance.Settings. ConnectionStrin g;

}

public Employees(strin g connString)

{

ConnectString = connString;

}

public DataSet GetRowFromID(in t ID)

{

return GetEmployee(ID) ;

}

public string GetFieldtype(st ring fieldname)

{

Type t = this.GetType();

BindingFlags bf = BindingFlags.De fault;

bf |= BindingFlags.No nPublic;

bf |= BindingFlags.Fl attenHierarchy;

bf |= BindingFlags.In stance;

foreach (FieldInfo field in t..GetFields(bf ))

{

if (field.Name.End sWith(fieldname ))

return field.Name.Subs tring(0, 4);

}

return "";

}

}

I had to reference the base class directly to get the private fields.

Don't know why your method doesn't work?

I may be a student, but I have a job ;-)

Can you post the code you were using?
