 I don't think so. ON the msdn docs, it says:
 
 Notes to Inheritors:  When you inherit from MethodInfo, you must 
 override GetBaseDefinition.
 
 That seems to imply that one would want to inherit from the class :-).

+It's a class that needs to be inherited by the runtime and the
+documentation is most likely automatically generated because the class
+is abstract and has that abstract method (or the documentation was
+written by someone who doesn't know how things work, as is evident in
+large parts of the reflection namespace documentation: note that it
+doesn't say that user code can derive from it and expect any useful
+behaviour by the runtime).
+As Zoltan says the class is not supposed to be inherited by user code.
+Though it would not be very difficult to support the broken usage, it
+wouldn't help anyway with at least the bug referenced which I filed.
