but I am not able to get the value of the object's property
I have a class, let's say class Sample. Sample has unknown properties but inherits an interface ISample. Said interface includes one method which I'm trying to create. This interface has a method called getPropertyValue(object o, string PropertyName).
It returns the value of the o.PropertyName using generics (unless you have a better suggestion). How do I write it? In other words, I want to be able to pass the name (as a string) of a property and return its value. Samples in C# preferrable but VB ok and any comments or suggestions are welcome.
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);

how to set text property assigned to the control created dynamically usiong reflection?
Type type = Type.GetType(strFullName);
object instance = Activator.CreateInstance(type);
ctrlTemp = (Control)instance;
ctrlTemp.ID = "Hello";
ctrlTemp.Text???
Panel1.Controls.Add(ctrlTemp);
I am having a problem understanding how polymorphism works when using generics. As an example, I have defined the following program:
public interface IMyInterface
{
void MyMethod();
}.....
So, at least I haven't completely misunderstood that. I am unsure exactly how I am to write a method that accepts a generic collection of classes that conform to the same interface.
I have a plan to completely hack around this problem if need be, but I would really prefer to do it properly.
I'm working with some XML representations of data instances. I'm deserializing the objects using .NET serialization but something in my soul is disturbed by having to write classes to represent the XML... Below is what I'd LOVE to do but I don't know if the syntax or if it is even possible:Consider the following:
dim xmlObject = SomeXMLFunction() 'where some function returns an object/string representation of xml...
xmlObject.SomePropertyDefinedInTheXML = SomeFunction()
I had asked with one question in the interview regarding generics
How can we restricts the one generic method to take only the value types.It should not be able to take reference types.
I know that in ASP.NET (talking about 2.0 here primarily) one can set a property on an object that takes a collection of things (an enumerable type I'm guessing is the trigger) and then reference it declaritivly. For example:
<ObjectDataSource properties="blahblahblah">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:Parameter />
</SelectParameters>
</ObjectDataSource>
It is the <asp:Parameter /> part which is the root of my question. Say I wanted a simpler collection on a type. Say a List<String> or if generics are out, an IntegerCollection or StringCollection. How would I use that declaratively? Is <string value=''> allowed, or can I put raw values into it like <StringCollection>string, string, string</StringCollection> or what?
EDIT:
I feel like I was not clear enough in my question. I understand that ObjectDataSource implements its SelectParameters property as a ParametersCollection, and that one can use that property declaratively (in an ASPX page) to set up Parameter types within that collection. What I'm wondering is if I made something like StringCollection as a property on another control, is there a syntax (in ASPX) for adding strings to that collection? Or would I have to define a wrapping class like how DropDownList takes ListItems to fill its collection?
For reasons I won't go into I need to use CLR generics syntax in an ASP.NET MVC view.
I.E. NOT this:
System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<someobject>
but this:
System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl`1[[someobject]]
When I run the application I get
Parser Error: could not load type `System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl`1[[someobject]]
I tried so much working with this to get distinct Words and their count. I'm using ASP.NET 2.0. And i also googled so much.
1)Ex(String): The DOTNET is Very Cool! The Best.
2) Capture all the sequences like Space, FullStop, Question Mark, Exclamation, Apostrophe, New Line....(May be with RegEx?)
3)Split Words According to the above sequences
4)Get Distinct Words(Occurences) and their count based on the input string in 1st statement.
Desired O/P:
The - 2
DOTNET - 1
Is - 1
Very - 1
Cool - 1
Best - 1

I am trying to come up with the best way to get only certain properties from a type using reflection. How can I differentiate the properties from each other?
I understand that I can use binding flags or name. But say I want only a certain four properties. Would the best way be to create a custom attribute for the ones I want then loop through all of the properties to see if they have that attribute?
I have a class decorated with a attribute ...[DataEntity("MESSAGE_STAGING", EnableCaching = true, CacheTimeout = 43200)] for some requirement,I want to change this value "MESSAGE_STAGING" at run time to "Test_Message_Staging". What is the best possible way to achieve this? Can i use reflection ,Or is there any other way to do this.
View 3 RepliesI am loading the dll as shown below,
Type[] _Type = Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(StdAdapter)).GetTypes();
Now I want to get all the properties for a particular 'class name' which is being passed as a string.
I have a collection of assemblies using reflection. I want to loop through them, but I would like to ignore the .NET framework or ASP.NET framework DLL's. Is there an attribute on the assembly that marks that its from the .NET framework? Or any other designation?
I was looking at the name, and if the name of the assembly starts with System, Microsoft, or mscorlib, I am ignoring it. But I was wondering if there is a flag I can use to make this even easier?
I got a strange one here and I want to know if any of you have ever run accross anything like it.
So I've got this web app that loads up a bunch of dll's through reflection. Basically it looks for Types that are derived from certain abstract types and adds them to the list of things it can make.
Here's the weird part. While developing there is never a problem. When installing it, there is never a problem to start with. Then, at a seemingly random time, the application breaks while trying to find all the types. I've had 2 sites sitting side by side and one worked while the other did not, and they were configured exactly(and I mean exactly) the same.
IISRESET's never helped, but this did:
I simply moved all the dll's out of the bin directory then moved them back. That's right I just moved them out of the bin directory then put them right back where they came from and everything worked fine.
Any ideas?
Got some more info
When the site is working I notice this behavior:
After IISRESET it still works, but recycling the app pool will cause it to break.
When the site is broken:
Neiter IISRESET nor recycling the app pool fixes it, but
moving a single dll out then back in fixes it.
Even More Info
So it turns out that IsAssignableFrom is not returning the correct value. I would not have believed it to be true, but I had my logger log the result and the 2 types, and it definitely returned the wrong value. The crazy thing is that the same dll will return different values at different times when comparing the same 2 types. Yet More Info The particular class that IsAssignableFrom fails on in located in a file with other classes. If I move the class to its own file, then everything works fine. However, if it is in the same file as other classes(even if it is in its own namespace block) then the Type reference is all wrong. The Type reference will have the correct name and methods, but it has trouble finding the correct constructor.
i have one interface . for which i need to send the input.input can be differe for person to person .i want to create a custom section in app.config .
<customsection url="">
<value1>
<value2>
</customsection>
for this i can create a libaray and do it ..many different libarray for many people with interface inclued in all ..this is want i need to do ...but the problem for me s i dont know wat library he s going to give me .. client will give me only the dll and i hv find the class name and its corresponding custom sectipon and call the interface method and get the output ..Reflection s the way but i dont know how to do it ...
I am trying to create instance of class by using reflection in ASP.net web site. Class ClassName is defined and located in App_code folder. Following line returns null, what could be wrong.
Type type = Type.GetType("NameSpace.ClassName", false, true);
How can I create an instance of a web control at runtime using reflection? I created a series of controls that implement a common interface and I would like to create these controls based on the name of the control which is stored in my database.
I have attempted (and failed) to create an instance of these controls using Activator.CreateInstance in the following ways:
Activator.CreateInstance("MyUserControl")
and
Activator.CreateInstance("ASP","controls_myusercontrol_ascx")
...and both return null.
I've also attempted to simply get the type of the control by trying..
Type t = Type.GetType("controls_myusercontrol_ascx");
and
Type t = Type.GetType("MyUserControl");
...and it returns null.
If I explicitly declare an object as controls_myusercontrol_ascx or MyUserControl, there is no issue -- but it can't be found with reflection.
Is it possible to create web user controls using reflection at run time? If so, how can I?
given a url that references an asmx how would i go about displaying all of their method names? if assembly="http://.../something/something.asmx" and i was trying to display the method names of that service what should i do now that i have gotten myself this far? i cant seem to find a solution among the hundreds of examples ive looked at
public TestReflection(string assembly)

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.
I want to ask that which methods/classes are allowed in Medium Trust.For example, whether these methods are allowed?
GetProperties,
GetMethods,
Activator.CreateInstance,
Assembly.Version,
AssemblyName.Namez
I've been tinkering for hours and I can't figure this out. Seems like it should be pretty straight-forward. Is it possible to use reflection to get a reference to a partial page class given the page's name and path so that I can iterate through the page and examine its controls? I am not looking to examine the currently loaded page, but another page within the same website.
View 4 RepliesI have a UserControl which contains a TextBox and a CustomValidator. I would like to set the CustomValidator.ServerValidate to a method in the page that contains the UserControl I found this code which will allow me to dynamically set the custom validators validation function: cusvCustom.ServerValidate += new System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventHandler(MethodName);
The problem is that a string value won't work there. It needs to be a reference to the method. Is it possible to use reflection (or some other method) to get a valid reference to the parent controls method using only the string name of it? The reason I want to use the string value of the method name is so I can place the control on the page thusly: <uc1:TextBoxField ID="tbUserName" runat="server" CustomValidationMethod="ValidateUserName" />

I did some research and I found Type.GetMethod and MethodInfo but I can't get them to work. Primarily because I don't know the type of the parent control and can't figure out how to get it. EDIT: My code for matt-dot-net. As you can see it's almost an exact duplicate of your code. For whatever reason it does not work for me as I have it here. When I click on the button the page reloads and is the same. When I un-comment the one line though and click the button then I see the error message.
I want to retrieve private (implementation and other) methods of a class which implements an interface and also is derived from (inherits) a base class.
How can I achieve this using reflection? Is there anyother way to achieve this?
This is wat m tryin to do. I need to view these private methods and their contents, I don't want to invoke them.

Dim assemblyName As String assemblyName = System.IO.Path.GetFullPath("xyz.dll")

assembly.GetType("myClass").Getmethods(Bindings.NonPublic)
assembly.GetType("myClass").GetMethods(BindingFlags.NonPublic) isn't working
I am populating a page with controls reading properties of a class using reflection. If the property type is 'String' I will add a text-box. If the property type is enum I am adding a dropdownlist. Now I have to populate the dropdown options with enums. How can this be done?
Both the enum definition class(Assignment) and the class(classOne) using which I am populating the page with controls are in the same Namespace(MySolution.Data). While looping through classOne properties when the property name is 'SkillLevel' I will have to go to assignment class get the members of enum SkillLevelEnum and populate the dropdown.
Same needs to be done for other dropdowns also.
My Code:
namespace MySolution.Data
{
public class classOne : MyAdapter
{
private string _Model;
