The ForMember method in the DisplayInfo struct is a static method that retrieves display information for a specific member of a type. This method is useful for obtaining metadata such as the name, description, icon, and other attributes associated with a member of a class or struct.
To use the ForMember method, you need to provide a MemberInfo object representing the member you want to retrieve information for, and a boolean indicating whether to inherit attributes from base classes.
The method returns a DisplayInfo object containing the collected metadata.
// Example usage of DisplayInfo.ForMember
using System.Reflection;
public class Example
{
public static void Main()
{
// Get the MemberInfo for a specific member
MemberInfo memberInfo = typeof(MyClass).GetMethod("MyMethod");
// Retrieve display information for the member
DisplayInfo displayInfo = DisplayInfo.ForMember(memberInfo, true);
// Access display information
string name = displayInfo.Name;
string description = displayInfo.Description;
string icon = displayInfo.Icon;
// Use the display information as needed
// For example, display it in a UI or log it
}
}
public class MyClass
{
public void MyMethod()
{
// Method implementation
}
}
