      try {
         FieldInfo fieldInfo = type.GetField("SubName");
         Console.WriteLine("FieldInfo = {0}", fieldInfo);
      }
      catch (ArgumentNullException e) {
         Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);

         Console.WriteLine("FieldInfo = {0}", fieldInfo);
      }
      catch (ArgumentNullException e) {
         Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message);
