I want to retrieve a PropertyInfo, Here the code :
string propertyName="Text";
PropertyInfo pi = control.GetType().GetProperty(propertyName);
it works fine but if I want to retrieve nested properties, it returns null :
string propertyName="DisplayLayout.Override.RowSelectors";
PropertyInfo pi = control.GetType().GetProperty(propertyName);
Is there any way to get nested properties ?
Best Regards,
Florian
Edit : I have a new problem now, I want to get a property which is an array :
string propertyName="DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns";
PropertyInfo pi = control.GetType().GetProperty(propertyName)
Thank you
Yes:
public PropertyInfo GetProp(Type baseType, string propertyName)
{
string[] parts = propertyName.Split('.');
return (parts.Length > 1)
? GetProp(baseType.GetProperty(parts[0]).PropertyType, parts.Skip(1).Aggregate((a,i) => a + "." + i))
: baseType.GetProperty(propertyName);
}
Called:
PropertyInfo pi = GetProp(control.GetType(), "DisplayLayout.Override.RowSelectors");
Recursion for the win!
Just do the same again on the PropertyType
you just got for the property (and repeat as often as you need):
PropertyInfo property = GetType().GetProperty(propertyName);
PropertyInfo nestedProperty = property.PropertyType.GetProperty(nestedPropertyName)
