MethodBase is the base class of MethodInfo and ConstructorInfo.
Notes to Implementers
When you inherit from MethodBase, you must override the following members: GetParameters(), Invoke(Object, BindingFlags, Binder, Object[], CultureInfo), GetMethodImplementationFlags(), MethodHandle, Attributes, Name, DeclaringType, MemberType, ReflectedType, GetCustomAttributes(Boolean), GetCustomAttributes(Type, Boolean), and IsDefined(Type, Boolean).

| DeclaringType | Gets the class that declares this member. (Inherited from MemberInfo) |
| IsAbstract | Gets a value indicating whether the method is abstract. |
| IsAssembly | Gets a value indicating whether the potential visibility of this method or constructor is described by Assembly; that is, the method or constructor is visible at most to other types in the same assembly, and is not visible to derived types outside the assembly. |
| IsCollectible | Gets a value that indicates whether this MemberInfo object is part of an assembly held in a collectible AssemblyLoadContext. (Inherited from MemberInfo) |
| IsConstructedGenericMethod | |
| IsConstructor | Gets a value indicating whether the method is a constructor. |
| IsFamily | Gets a value indicating whether the visibility of this method or constructor is described by Family; that is, the method or constructor is visible only within its class and derived classes. |
| IsFamilyAndAssembly | Gets a value indicating whether the visibility of this method or constructor is described by FamANDAssem; that is, the method or constructor can be called by derived classes, but only if they are in the same assembly. |
| IsFamilyOrAssembly | Gets a value indicating whether the potential visibility of this method or constructor is described by FamORAssem; that is, the method or constructor can be called by derived classes wherever they are, and by classes in the same assembly. |
| IsFinal | Gets a value indicating whether this method is final. |
| IsGenericMethod | Gets a value indicating whether the method is generic. |
| IsGenericMethodDefinition | Gets a value indicating whether the method is a generic method definition. |
| IsHideBySig | Gets a value indicating whether only a member of the same kind with exactly the same signature is hidden in the derived class. |
| IsPrivate | Gets a value indicating whether this member is private. |
| IsPublic | Gets a value indicating whether this is a public method. |
| IsSecurityCritical | Gets a value that indicates whether the current method or constructor is security-critical or security-safe-critical at the current trust level, and therefore can perform critical operations. |
| IsSecuritySafeCritical | Gets a value that indicates whether the current method or constructor is security-safe-critical at the current trust level; that is, whether it can perform critical operations and can be accessed by transparent code. |
| IsSecurityTransparent | Gets a value that indicates whether the current method or constructor is transparent at the current trust level, and therefore cannot perform critical operations. |
| IsSpecialName | Gets a value indicating whether this method has a special name. |
| IsStatic | Gets a value indicating whether the method is static. |
| IsVirtual | Gets a value indicating whether the method is virtual. |
| MemberType | When overridden in a derived class, gets a MemberTypes value indicating the type of the member - method, constructor, event, and so on. (Inherited from MemberInfo) |
| MetadataToken | Gets a value that identifies a metadata element. (Inherited from MemberInfo) |
| MethodHandle | Gets a handle to the internal metadata representation of a method. |
| MethodImplementationFlags | Gets the MethodImplAttributes flags that specify the attributes of a method implementation. |
