C# GetMethod doesn't return a parent method

Question

I have the following class tree:

public class A
{
    public static object GetMe(SomeOtherClass something)
    {
        return something.Foo();
    }
}

pub         


        

Answer 1

You need to pass BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy flag to GetMethod in order to search up the hierarchy:

typeof(C).GetMethod("GetMe", BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy, null, new Type[] { typeof(SomeOtherClass) }, null)).Invoke(null, parameter));
