PropertyInfo.GetGetMethod Method (Boolean)

Parameters

• nonPublic
  Type: System.Boolean
  true to return a non-public accessor; otherwise, false.

Return Value

Type: System.Reflection.MethodInfo
The get accessor for this property, if nonPublic is true. Returns nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if nonPublic is false and the get accessor is non-public, or if nonPublic is true but no get accessor exists.

Imports System.Reflection
