XmlSchemaDatatype.Variety protected member access

[gar]

Hi,
I'm trying to get the Variety property from an instance of an
XmlSchemaDatatype. The property is internal. I'm trying to use reflection to
access it as follows.

object variety = datatype.GetType().GetProperty("Variety",
BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy | BindingFlags.GetProperty |
BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public );

It returns null. However in the locals window I can see the Variiety
property is 'Atomic'. What am I doing wrong? I've tried a number of
combinations of BindingFlags to no avail.

Regards
Gar

Consider moving to .net framework 2.0 beta2 which has this property turned
public.

The GetProperty method on System.Type will return a PropertyInfo object and
not the value of the property. To directly get the value of the property,
try using the InvokeMember method instead:

object variety = datatype.GetType().InvokeMember("Variety",
BindingFlags.GetProperty | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance,
null, datatype, null);

Thanks,
Priya
