How to update a property using Type.GetProperties() method?
- by Richard77
Hello,
I've a collection of a class' properties and would like to update each one's value by iterating over the collection through the index.
1) I create the collection of properties this way
private PropertyInfo[] GetPropertiesOfMyClass()
{
Type myType = (typeof(myClass));
PropertyInfo[] PropertyInfoArray = myType.GetProperties(
BindingFlags.Public |
BindingFlags.Instance);
return PropertyInfoArray;
}
2)Now, I'd like to set up the value of each one depending on the index this way
public void UpdateProperty(MyClass instanceOfMyClass, string valueToUpdate, int index)
{
//TODO:
//1. Get an individual property from the GetPropertyOfMyClass() using index
//2. Update the value of an individual property of the instanceOfMyClass
}
I'd like to be able to call UpdateProperty from a Controller like this:
UpdateProperty(instanceOfMyClass, valueToUpdate, indexOfTheProperty);
Honestly, I do not know how to involve the instanceOfMyClass in the game as GetProperty only plays with myClass.
Since I saw that I can use Name, PropertyType, ... to get information on the property. So, I've tried also GetPropertyOfMyClass()[index].SetValue(...), but I was lost in the arguments of its constructor, so I abandoned.
What I want is to be able to update the value of a property in my collection just by using the index.
Thanks for helping
