BindingFlagsPublic

BindingFlags are enumeration constants used with reflection in the .NET Framework to specify the members to include when searching for type members. BindingFlagsPublic is a specific value within this enumeration.

When a reflection operation, such as `Type.GetMethod` or `Type.GetProperty`, is performed, a BindingFlags parameter can be passed to filter the results. If BindingFlagsPublic is specified, the reflection operation will only consider public members of the type. This means it will look for methods, properties, fields, events, or constructors that are declared as public.

Conversely, if BindingFlagsPublic is not specified or is combined with other flags, the search might include non-public members like private, protected, or internal members, depending on the other flags used. For instance, `BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public` would search for public instance members. `BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public` would search for public static members.

Using BindingFlagsPublic is a common way to restrict reflection queries to only those members that are accessible from outside the containing type. This is useful for security reasons, performance, or simply to focus on the intended public interface of a type. It ensures that the reflection process is efficient and returns only the expected public-facing members.
