Answer 1

I think you need to add the System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance flag. Use | to combine it with the NonPublic flag.

EDIT:

Looks like BrokenGlass has it right. I wrote the following quick test.

var fields = test.GetType().BaseType.GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
foreach (var field in fields)
{
     System.Console.WriteLine(field.Name);
}

It correctly reports the field you were looking for. (Test is derived from BaseValidator)
