[Mono-list] Reflection of non-public fields

[Kornél Pál]

This is an instance field so you should use GetFields(BindingFlags.NonPublic 
| BindingFlags.Instance).

The field is not removed, that's why you get the warning so that the 
compiler warns you that you should probably remove the field if you are sure 
that you don't need it. You can check the presence of the field using tools 
like monodis, ildasm or Reflector.
