System.Reflection.MethodInfo Class, System.Reflection Namespace
Returns a new MethodInfo instance that reflects the first definition of the method reflected by the current instance in the inheritance hierarchy of that method.
A new MethodInfo instance that reflects the first definition of the method reflected by the current instance in the inheritance hierarchy of that method.
[Behaviors: System.Reflection.MethodInfo.GetBaseDefinition proceeds along the inheritance hierarchy of the method reflected by the current instance, returning a MethodInfo instance that reflects the first definition in the hierarchy of that method.The method declaration to be reflected by the new MethodInfo instance is determined as follows:
]
- If the method reflected by the current instance overrides a virtual definition in the base class, the virtual definition is reflected.
- If the method reflected by the current instance is specified with the
newkeyword, the current instance is returned.- If the method reflected by the current instance is not defined in the type of the object on which System.Reflection.MethodInfo.GetBaseDefinition is called, the method definition of the furthest ancestor in the class hierarchy is reflected.
System.Reflection.MethodInfo Class, System.Reflection Namespace
