IReflect.InvokeMember Method

Parameters

• name
  Type: System.String
  The name of the member to find.

• invokeAttr
  Type: System.Reflection.BindingFlags
  One of the BindingFlags invocation attributes. The invokeAttr parameter may be a constructor, method, property, or field. A suitable invocation attribute must be specified. Invoke the default member of a class by passing the empty string ("") as the name of the member.

• binder
  Type: System.Reflection.Binder
  One of the BindingFlags bit flags. Implements Binder, containing properties related to this method.

• target
  Type: System.Object
  The object on which to invoke the specified member. This parameter is ignored for static members.

• args
  Type: array<System.Object[]
  An array of objects that contains the number, order, and type of the parameters of the member to be invoked. This is an empty array if there are no parameters.

• modifiers
  Type: array<System.Reflection.ParameterModifier[]
  An array of ParameterModifier objects. This array has the same length as the args parameter, representing the invoked member's argument attributes in the metadata. A parameter can have the following attributes: pdIn, pdOut, pdRetval, pdOptional, and pdHasDefault. These represent [In], [Out], [retval], [optional], and a default parameter, respectively. These attributes are used by various interoperability services.

• culture
  Type: System.Globalization.CultureInfo
  An instance of CultureInfo used to govern the coercion of types. For example, culture converts a String that represents 1000 to a Double value, since 1000 is represented differently by different cultures. If this parameter is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the CultureInfo for the current thread is used.

• namedParameters
  Type: array<System.String[]
  A String array of parameters.

Return Value

Type: System.Object
The specified member.
