VB.NET Core Classes in a Nutshell

Name

MethodInfo

Synopsis

This class is an implementation of MethodBase for methods (ConstructorInfo is the other implementation for constructors). It adds two properties: ReturnType and ReturnTypeCustomAttributes, which allow access to the System.Type object of the value returned and to the custom attributes set on that value. If the method is overridden from a base class, then GetBaseDefinition() returns the MethodInfo for the overridden method.
