How to get public static method of base class?

Question

My base class has a public static method, but when I call typeof(TDerived).GetMethods(BindingFlags.Public |BindingFlags.Static) my method doesn't get returned. (TDerived of course inherits in some way from my base class). I don't have a reference to my base class at the place of this query.
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Use the BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy flag:

typeof(TDerived).GetMethods(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy)

It is a documented behavior in the Remarks section for Type.GetMethods(BindingFlags) method.
