Getting and setting properties
suggest changeBasic usage:
PropertyInfo prop = myInstance.GetType().GetProperty("myProperty");
// get the value myInstance.myProperty
object value = prop.GetValue(myInstance);
int newValue = 1;
// set the value myInstance.myProperty to newValue
prop.setValue(myInstance, newValue);
Setting read-only automatically-implemented properties can be done through it’s backing field (in .NET Framework name of backing field is “k__BackingField”):
// get backing field info
FieldInfo fieldInfo = myInstance.GetType()
.GetField("<myProperty>k__BackingField", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
int newValue = 1;
// set the value of myInstance.myProperty backing field to newValue
fieldInfo.SetValue(myInstance, newValue);
Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea?
