Map Literals to Object Properties/Values
- by vijay
For eg, my input XML is look like this.
<root>
<myelemt>
<input type="variable">
<variable>STARTDATE</variable>
<variable>CUSTOMERNAME</variable>
</input>
</myelemt>
</root>
it is deserialized and loaded into the object MyXmlElemtObj
in my code i have written like this,
if(MyXmlElemtObj.input.variable.ToUpper() == "STARTDATE")
ProcessObjectB(ObjectA.OrderDate);
if(MyXmlElemtObj.input.variable.ToUpper() == "CUSTOMERNAME")
ProcessObjectB(ObjectC.UserName);
Here I am mapping those input literals to some objects value.
The one thing that scares me is seeing some ** hard-coded literals** all over my code.
Instead i would like to write something like ProcessObjectB(Common.GetMappedvalue(MyXmlElemtObj.input.variable));
Is there a way to isolate this mapping thing to common class, where i will predefine
which literal is mapped to which values. The problem is the values are of objects created at the run time.
If my question is making sense then So how do i achieve this?
I think i have given all the necessary details. if anything is missing please metnion. Thx Much.
