GetFields not working?

[Jon Slaughter]

FieldInfo[] fields = type.GetFields( );

works and returns all public fields, but when I do

FieldInfo[] fields = type.GetFields( BindingFlags.Pu blic);



I get nothing!! Whats going on? (again, its that simple... if I delete
BindingFlags.Pu blic I get all public fields but if I don't then I get
nothing)



Thanks,

Jon

Re: GetFields not working?

You need to specify whether you want instance or static members by or'ing
BindingFlags.

I believe GetFields() does Public | Instance.

Could you post a short but complete program which demonstrates the
