The Type.GetMethods method does not return methods in a particular order, such as alphabetical or declaration order. Your code must not depend on the order in which methods are returned, because that order varies.

Constructors are not included in the array of methods returned by this call. Make a separate call to GetConstructors() to get the constructor methods.

The following table shows what members of a base class are returned by the Get methods when reflecting on a type.

Constructor	No	No
Field	No	Yes. A field is always hide-by-name-and-signature.
Event	Not applicable	The common type system rule is that the inheritance is the same as that of the methods that implement the property. Reflection treats properties as hide-by-name-and-signature. See note 2 below.
Method	No	Yes. A method (both virtual and non-virtual) can be hide-by-name or hide-by-name-and-signature.
Nested Type	No	No
Property	Not applicable	The common type system rule is that the inheritance is the same as that of the methods that implement the property. Reflection treats properties as hide-by-name-and-signature. See note 2 below.

[The 'ordered' type of list has not been implemented in the ECMA stylesheet.]

If the current T:System.Type represents a constructed generic type, this method returns the System.Reflection.MethodInfo objects with the type parameters replaced by the appropriate type arguments.

If the current Type represents a type parameter in the definition of a generic type or generic method, this method searches the methods of the class constraint, or the methods of object if there is no class constraint.
