VB.NET Auto Implemented Property Missing in Reflection

Question

Let's say I have a class with two public properties, one has a getter defined and the other is an auto implemented property (which creates a getter/setter internally)

Public ReadOnly Property PendingAdd As String 
  Get
    Return m_pendingadd
  End Get
End Property

'Auto Implemented Property
Public AuditorName As String

When using reflection and calling GetProperties(), I only get the property with the Get defined, the auto implemented property does not get returned. How can I get both properties using reflection?

Dim lobjSiteType As Type = Me.GetType()
For Each pi As System.Reflection.PropertyInfo In lobjSiteType.GetProperties(System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public Or System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance
   'Do stuff
Next

Answer 1

Public AuditorName As String is not a property it's a class variable.

This is an auto property in VB.NET:

Property YourProperty As String  

Answer 2

A property is considered public to reflection if it has at least one accessor that is public. Otherwise the property is considered private, and you must use BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static (in Visual Basic, combine the values using Or) to get it.
