.net - Generic Way Of Checking Property Type Using Reflection

Mar 25, 2011

I am trying to set property value using reflection as below. I wanted to know if there is any generic way of finding the property type instead of doing it int he below way.

string currentlblTxt;
string currentTxt;
Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(myAdapter));
myAdapter currentEventObject = (myAdapter)assembly.CreateInstance(myClassName);

Custom Server Controls :: Using The Generic Type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable' Requires '1' Type Arguments

Nov 25, 2010

I'm trying to create a control out of a class I found, and one of the overridden functions is the following:

protected override void PerformDataBinding(IEnumerable data)

However, when I try to build the control I'm getting the error as shown in the subject. I've tried searching, and it seems the signature for the original function matches the one I have, and all other solutions I've seen uses the same signature.

C# - Creating A Generic IList Instance Using Reflection?

Feb 4, 2010

I am trying to create a generic list of objects using reflection. The below code throws an error Cannot create an instance of an interface. . I could change the IList to List and it works fine, but I was wondering if there is way to get this working with an IList.

var name = typeof (IList<T>).AssemblyQualifiedName;
Type type = Type.GetType(name);
var list = Activator.CreateInstance(type);

C# - Create A New Instance Of A Type Without Reflection?

Jan 14, 2011

I have a function that at the moment takes a Type variable. This function sticks it in a list and such and eventually needs will create a class of that type. Right now I do that with

object o=MyType.GetConstructors()[0].Invoke(new object[0]);

which is pretty hacky and also will not work in medium trust due to reflection(I think). Is there a better way of doing this without reflection? The Type is defined this way as part of a function. I need the class to be created "lazily" because it may not be created in the application if it's not needed. I use it for example like

AddToList(typeof(Whatever));

Note, I'm open to suggestions on changing the function calling. I just need the object to be created lazily and for to store the type(or however to create an object of the type) in a list.

C# - How To Create A Generic/parent Type That You Could Send To Methods Without Having To Define An Overload For Each Type

Mar 5, 2011

I'm trying to create a validation layer that will contain methods to validate all my objects (in my Business Objects layer) .. but when I try to reference both the validation and business objects to each other I get a circular dependency error .. so I've decided to create a new layer (BLL) to validate the objects for me and I'll be able to reference both the validation and the object layers.

so I want to build some kind of class/interface -I don't know what fits more- to be like a generic type or a parent type that my method could accept it as a parameter and check for it's Name/ID property. Instead of defining a new method overload for each object type I have

Use System.Type.InvokeMember() / Invoke Method Dynamically Using Reflection?

Feb 24, 2011

I understood that we can use System.Type.InvokeMember() to invoke method dynamically using Reflection, but I couldn't get proper example to show how to work on it. Can anyone please explain how to do it in
Visual Studio 2010

Just for practice purpose I have created one class called MathFunctions like below:
namespaceCSHWEB
{
public
class
MathFunctions
{
public
double
SimpleInterest(double
PrinicipalAmount, double
TimePeriod, double RateOfInterest)
{
return
(PrinicipalAmount * TimePeriod * RateOfInterest) / 100.0;
}
}
}

Now,
how can I invoke above method SimpleInterest with its parameters without instantiating the class?

Generic Casting To Access Text Property?

Sep 23, 2010

I have a situation where I'm iterating through all the controls on a form, specifically looking out for any of these three types of controls: Labels, TextBoxes, CheckBoxes

I can, of course, get the type of the control and then use a Switch-Case construct to cast labels as Labels, textboxes as TextBoxes, and checkboxes as CheckBoxes.

But I'm wondering if there's a way to do something with one or two lines of code to gain access to the Text property of each of these controls?

C# - How To Return A Value Based On The Type Of The Generic T

Now say I want to return "hello" if the type is a string, and 110011 if it is type int.

how can I do that?

typeof(T) doesn't seem to work.

I ideally want to do a switch statement, and return something based on the Type of the generic (string/int/long/etc).

C# -pass A Generic Type With The User Control?

Aug 19, 2010

In Asp.net Web forms why must a user control be partial? I tried to remove the partial keyword and it says: Missing partial modifier on declaration of type 'test'; another partial declaration of this type exists
Where is the other declaration?I am trying to pass a generic type with the user control how can I do that? I can't unless I change the other declaration too. I couldn't find it so I removed the partial keyword.Note:
you do have 3 files if your making WebApplication but if your making website you only get 2 files?
UserControl.ascx
UserControl.ascx.cs
so in website where is the other declaration?the reason i want generic is because im making a Grid User Control so i want to pass the type the datasource is going to have.

C# - Binding A Generic List Of Type Struct To A Repeater?

Aug 19, 2010

I've had a bit of a problem trying to bind a generic list to a repeater. The type used in the generic list is actually a struct.

I've built a basic example below:

[code]....

I then create two fruits using the struct (apple and orange). These fruits are then added to the list.

Finally, I bind the generic list to the DataSource property of the repeater...

The markup looks like this:

[code]....

I expect to see the fruit name and price printed on the screen, separated by a horizontal rule.

At the moment I am getting an error relating to actual binding...

**Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: DataBinding: '_Default+Fruit' does not contain a property with the name 'FruitName'.**

Content Type When Serving A File In A Generic Handler?

Dec 10, 2010

I'm busy writing a handler to serve various documents for download or presentation in web forms pages. The documents range from various image formats, to PDF, to MS Office documents, to generic binaries. My basic draft of the download process is as below:

[code]....

However, I have some misgivings about lumping all documents together as application/octet-stream, and I would prefer, if feasible, to use a more specific content type per document type. I have a DB table for document types where I could store this. Am I going in the right direction, and if so, where can I find a suitable starting list of content types for document types?

C# - Dynamically Added Controls End Up Wrapped In A Generic Type?

Dec 7, 2010

I'm writing a formbuilder for our CMS which dynamically loads bespoke controls into panels within a repeater.

The bespoke controls all inherit from, lets say 5arx.FormBuilder.FormControl, a base class which defines abstract methods for initialising, validating, repopulating, gathering submitted data from them. Controls range from simple text fields to complex, composite client-side controls.

It all works very well, but I've noticed something I feel is anomalous. During the course of writing code to retrieve form controls. gather their data and persist it to my database I noticed that their type reverts to the way objects get typed if you write your code in the (v. irritating) VS 'website project' mode.

So, for example a control that is defined as living in a namespace and being of type

5arx.FormBuilder.FormControl.MyBespokeControl
Sarx.FormBuilder.FormControl.MyBespokeControl

at runtime reports its type (via simple call to GetType()) as being of type:

ASP.5arx_FormBuilder_FormControl_MyBespokeControl
ASP.Sarx_FormBuilder_FormControl_MyBespokeControl

Getting the BaseType property will correctly retrieve the underlying class, but it is perplexing to me why this should be happening. Particularly as I spent much of the summer refactoring our app from its original form as VS Website project (complete with shared code in the App_Code folder and other nastiness) to the (IHMO) correct web application project + supporting claass libraries so that we would have control over our namespaces and not get everything compiled into the ASP.x namespace

EDIT: Modified the (hypothetical) example root namespace.

Using Custom Class With Method That Takes Generic Type Parameter

Apr 23, 2010

I have several custom classes that derive from a common base class so they share several members in common. I would like to be able to pass objecs from any of these three classes to a function that will "look at" common properties. However, it seems there is a catch 22 -- When I try to access a member (.FirstName) of the passed object, the computer reports an error that it thinks the member doesn't exist.

It seems to be a sort of contradiction -- since I didn't declare the type, the computer can't confirm existence, but it seems that it should have to take it on faith since the generic character of the type is specified by the code. Possibly there is something I don't know about that would fix this. I'm showing VB code for what I have so far. I went ahead and hardcoded an instance to confirm that the object exists and has the needed property. I commented out the line that had the code that resulted in the computer reporting an error.

Generic Parameter - Pass Another Control Type And Execute Exact Same Logic

Nov 30, 2010

I have a class constructor which accepts a Listbox.

[Code]....

I need to be able to pass another control type and execute the exact same logic in one of the methods... Seems like a use for Generics... I'm not so sure about the syntax... The type of control that I will pass is a rad combo box which has many of the same properties of the listBox control. However, RadComboBox does not inherit from listBox or dropDown so I am unable to cast. When changing the signature of the constructor to As RadComboBox as well as the property and field the method works as expected. I am trying to avoid duplicating code here.

MVC Generic Base View Class / Error Parsing Attribute 'something': Type 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage'

Feb 5, 2010

I can have a base class for views in an MVC project like this:

public class BaseViewPage : System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage
{
public string Something { get; set; }
}

And then in the ASPX I can do this:

<%@ Page Something="foo" Language="C#" Inherits="MyNamespace.BaseViewPage" %>

This works fine; the problem is when I try to do the same with the generic version:

public class BaseViewPage<TModel> : System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<TModel> where TModel : class
{
public string Something { get; set; }
}

When I try to use this from the ASPX, like this:

<%@ Page Something="foo" Language="C#" Inherits="MyNamespace.BaseViewPage<SomeClass>" %>

I get the error message:

Error parsing attribute 'something': Type 'System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage' does not have a public property named 'something'.

Notice how it tries to use System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage rather than my BaseViewPage class. To make it more interesting, if I remove the "Something" attribute from the Page directive and put some code in the generic version of BaseViewPage (OnInit for example) the class is actually called / used / instantiated.

So, am I doing something wrong or is this a limitation.
