GetFields not working?

[Jon Slaughter]

FieldInfo[] fields = type.GetFields();

works and returns all public fields, but when I do

FieldInfo[] fields = type.GetFields(BindingFlags.Public);

I get nothing!! Whats going on? (again, its that simple... if I delete
BindingFlags.Public I get all public fields but if I don't then I get
nothing)

Thanks,

Jon

You need to specify whether you want instance or static members by or'ing
BindingFlags.

I believe GetFields() does Public | Instance.

Could you post a short but complete program which demonstrates the
problem?

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for details of
what I mean by that.

See Fredo's reply.
