Type.GetFields Method

public FieldInfo[] GetFields();

Retrieves all public fields of the current Type.

Parameters

This method does not take any parameters.

Return Value

An array of FieldInfo objects representing all public fields defined on the current Type. Returns an empty array if the Type has no public fields.

Remarks

The GetFields() method returns public fields only. To retrieve all fields (public, protected, internal, private), including inherited fields, use the GetFields(BindingFlags) overload with appropriate BindingFlags.

Use BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance to get public instance fields.
Use BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static to get public static fields.
Use BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly to get only fields declared on the current type, not inherited fields.

Example

Getting Public Fields of a Type


using System;
using System.Reflection;

public class ExampleClass
{
    public int PublicIntField = 10;
    private string _privateStringField = "Hello";
    public static double PublicStaticDoubleField = 3.14;
}

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Type exampleType = typeof(ExampleClass);

        Console.WriteLine($"Public fields of {exampleType.Name}:");

        FieldInfo[] publicFields = exampleType.GetFields();

        if (publicFields.Length == 0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("  No public fields found.");
        }
        else
        {
            foreach (FieldInfo field in publicFields)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"  - {field.FieldType.Name} {field.Name}");
            }
        }

        Console.WriteLine("\nGetting all fields (including private and static):");
        FieldInfo[] allFields = exampleType.GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static);

        foreach (FieldInfo field in allFields)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"  - {field.FieldType.Name} {field.Name} (IsPublic: {field.IsPublic}, IsPrivate: {field.IsPrivate}, IsStatic: {field.IsStatic})");
        }
    }
