Reflection - Find From A Property Info Object If That Property Has A Non Public (Private / Protected) Setter?

Aug 27, 2009

I searched on the forum / Internet for the solution how a PropetryInfo object (of a Public property) can reveal if it has a Private Protected Setter ... it was all in vain .... all help I found was about how to "Set" value of a public property having a Private Setter.I would like to know if I have a PropertyInfo object of a public property, how would I know if its Setter is Non Public?

I tried, in a exception handling block, where I did a GetValue of the PropertyInfo object and then called SetValue by setting the same value back... but to my surprise it worked well and didn error out.

C# - Invoking Private / Protected Methods Via Reflection From The Same Object Instance (or Base)

Jan 5, 2012

Is it possible to call a protected method via reflection. I am using this:

Me.GetType.InvokeMember(Stages(CurrentStage),
Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod,
Nothing,
Me,
Nothing)

Which always calls a method with no params or return. The idea is that the user of my object (transactional processing of business logic) inherits the base class adds in a load of private methods to fire. They then add these method names to a list in the order they would like them fired and the code above will take care of firing them.

It works fine with public methods but not with private or protected methods in the same class (Protected because I have some 'standard' pre built methods to add to the base class). Realistically I could make the methods public and be done with it but my inner nerd wont allow me to do so...

I am assuming this is a security feature. Is there a way to get around this or does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed but keep my tasty, tasty visibility modifiers in tact?

(NOTE: ITS IN VB.NET but a C# Answer is fine if that is what you are comfortable with).

Private Or Protected Set For A MustOverride Property?

Jul 24, 2010

I'd like to have a Private or Protected "Setter" for a property that also happens to be an abstract (MustOverride). I'm porting some code from C# to VB and in C# this is pretty straight forward. In VB not so much (for me anyway).

Some code...

In C#...
public abstract class BaseClassWithAnAbstractProperty
{
public abstract int AnAbstractIntegerProperty { get; protected set; }
}

[Code]....

The issue seems to be the inability to flesh-out the Get/Set specifics in the declaration.

.net - If An Interface Defines A ReadOnly Property, How Can An Implementer Provide The Setter To This Property

Jun 10, 2011

Is there a way for implementers of an interface where a ReadOnly property is defined to make it a complete Read/Write Property ?

Imagine I define an interface to provide a ReadOnly Property (i.e., just a getter for a given value) :

Interface SomeInterface
'the interface only say that implementers must provide a value for reading
ReadOnly Property PublicProperty As String
End Interface

This means implementers must commit to providing a value. But I would like a given implementer to also allow setting that value. In my head, this would mean providing the Property's setter as part of the implementation, doing something like this :

Public Property PublicProperty As String Implements SomeInterface.PublicProperty
Get
Return _myProperty

Access A "private Virtual" Property Starting With Underscore Through Reflection?

Apr 10, 2011

I was trying to access the following property using Reflection because I don't have the original source code (suppose this was decompiled through Reflector). It seems that something is special about it being "private virtual" or maybe because it has "_" in the beginning of the property. I can access all the other private properties no problem except this one. Just can't figure out what I am doing wrong:

Invoke HasValue On A Nullable Property Of An Object Via Reflection?

Sep 15, 2010

This function loops all properties of an object to create the updatequery to save te object to the DB.

We had to make some changes to it because of the introduction of nullable properties. If the property is nullable we would like to check the 'HasValue' property. This does works when it has a value. When the property has no value we get an 'Non-static method requires a target'-error at the CBool-line

An other way to check the 'HasValue'-prop of a property using reflection?

Private Function GetUpdateQuery(ByVal obj As Object, ByRef params As List(Of SqlParameter), Optional ByVal excl As String() = Nothing) As String
Dim sql As String = String.Empty

Public-facing Property To Return Either A String OR A Numeric W/o Using 'Object'?

Nov 4, 2010

So I've run into a case where I have a class that can store either a string or a numeric value, and I want a single property to return one or the other (it would be a failure for both to be set). I'm using a custom generic class to deal with the numerics (so I can use signed, unsigned, and nullables), and will be storing the string in a separate variable.

In theory, if overloading could be done based on the return type, I could do this quite easily. But .NET currently disallows this. So I am wondering if there is some other really-far-out-there trick (outside of MSIL generation via Reflection.Emit) that could accomplish the same thing.

I'm open to ideas via delegates, pointer dereferencing, generics, mystical rites, etc. Also interested in any thoughts or pros/cons of such possibilities as a learning tool. If using a standard Object is the only way to achieve what I want, then that's fine with me. But It's difficult to find the correct set of keywords to hunt down this kind of capability on Google, so I thought I'd ask here before I moved on to doing something else on the project.

Error : Protected ReadOnly Property InnerChannel As TChannel' Is Not Accessible In This Context Because It Is 'Protected'

Apr 12, 2010

I am having a Friend Class InterceptingChannelBase class.It has a property as below:

Protected ReadOnly Property InnerChannel() As TChannel
Get
Return Me.innerChannelT

[code]....

This class is being inherited by (Friend Class InterceptingInputChannel) class which in turn contains another (Private Class TryReceiveAsyncResult) class.The property above is being used in this private class as below:

Public Sub New(ByVal channel As InterceptingInputChannel(Of TInputChannel), ByVal timeout As TimeSpan, ByVal callback As AsyncCallback, ByVal state As Object)
MyBase.New(channel, callback, state)

[code]....

I am getting the error on the above underlined statement saying that Protected Readonly Property InnerChannel is not accessible in this context because it is declared asa Protected.As far as i think,if i declare a property in class as 'Protected' then if this class is inherited by 'another' class then i can use this property and it should not throw an error.

Create Property Setter Delegate Via DynamicMethod?

May 28, 2010

I'm building an abstract class that handles some common operations for all of my data access objects. The class will utilize generics, so I can't make direct calls to constructors, business object properties, etc. Reflection is way too slow for what I want to accomplish, so I am using a DynamicMethod, ILGenerator, and Delegate caching instead (sample will follow).

The method I'm currently working on is a Private Shared method that populates a list of business objects using records from a data table. I'm having a problem building the property setter via IL. I'm getting an object reference error, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I believe the error comes from the "target" being Nothing, but the parameter I'm passing as the target is not Nothing at the time of invocation. Here are some snippets of what I've got so far:

'class declaration -- TList is strongly-typed list of T
Public MustInherit Class DataAccessBase(Of T, TList)
...
'delegate declaration

[code]...

I'm assuming the obj is not being passed correctly as the target, thus causing the target to be Nothing.

C# - ReadOnly Property Or Property With Private Set Should Use?

Jan 26, 2012

I Like .NET automatic properties, in C# it so easy to declare readonly property by declaring its set section as private like this:

public String Name{ get; private set; }

But when I tried that in VB.NET I was shocked that it is not supported as mentioned here and I have to write it as follows:

Private _Name as String
Public ReadOnly Property Name as String
Get

What the difference between these declarations in VB.NET, which one is preferred and Why?

Which one will affect compile time, runtime or performance at all?

Asp.net - .Net Reflection To Get Description Of Class / Property?

Apr 14, 2010

I know its unlikely but I was wondering if there is any way to get the comments (i.e. the bits after the ''') of a class or property..? I have managed to get a list of properties of a class using the PropertyInfo class but I cant find a way to get the comments / description.. I need it for a guide I am writing for the administrators of my site - it would be great if it could automatically update if new properties are added, so there is no need to worry about updating it in the future too much.

Asp.net - Get By Reflection The Value Of A Property Whose Getter Has An Optional Value

Feb 23, 2012

I am retrieving several properties of a control. Here is how I used to retrieve properties (with pinfo of type PropertyInfo):

value = pinfo.GetValue(obj, nothing)

That worked well, but now I am facing a property that has a optional value, and I get an error message telling me that the number of parameters is incorrect. So I changed my code by this one:

Dim index As Object() = {Nothing}
value = pinfo.GetValue(obj, index)

At this point, I didn't get any error message, but this code doesn't retrieve the good value. It only works if I replace Nothing by the default value provided by the property accessor...

But I don't know in advance what this default value is! And this code is within a function that retrieves properties that doesn't have optional values, so I cannot change the code especially for one case or another..

I am working on .NET 2.0

EDIT: More precisions about the case leading to the problem

Here is an example of property leading to the problem:

ReadOnly Property Foo(Optional ByVal Number As Integer = -1) As String
Get
If Number = -1 Then

[Code]....

With this kind of property, none of the codes above retrieve the good string.

My best guess would be to try the first code for general purposes, catch the appropriate exception, and then dynamically retrieve the default value of the parameter (Number in that case) and its type, so that I can call getValue with this default value.

So, How can I retrieve the default value of the optional parameter?
