C# Class Rolcore.Reflection.ObjectExtensions

Extensions for Object.

Public Methods

Method	Description
ChangeType ( this obj, Type toType ) : object	Use this instead of Convert.ChangeType to support Nullable<> types. Returns an Object with the specified Type of which the value is equivalent to the specified object.
CopyMatchingObjectPropertiesTo ( this source, object dest, bool shallow = false ) : void	Copies value type properties with matching names and compatible types from the current instance to the specified destination, even if the source and destination are not in the same inheritance family. Incompatible and missing properties are ignored. If both the source and the destination have a complex property, the method will recurse if shallow is false.
GetPropertiesWithAttribute ( this obj, Type attributeType, bool inherit ) : System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[]
GetPropertyValue ( this obj, string propertyName ) : object	Gets the value of a property of a given object.
IsNullableType ( this obj ) : bool	Determines if the given object is Nullable<>.
SetPropertyValue ( this obj, string propertyName, object propertyValue ) : void	Sets value of a property of a given object.
SetPropertyValues ( this obj, NameValueCollection propertyValues ) : void	Sets value of multiple properties of a given object.

Method Details

ChangeType() public static method

Use this instead of Convert.ChangeType to support Nullable<> types. Returns an Object with the specified Type of which the value is equivalent to the specified object.

public static ChangeType ( this obj, Type toType ) : object
obj	this	Specifies the object for which the type should change.
toType	System.Type	Specifies the type to change the specified object to.
return	object

CopyMatchingObjectPropertiesTo() public static method

Copies value type properties with matching names and compatible types from the current instance to the specified destination, even if the source and destination are not in the same inheritance family. Incompatible and missing properties are ignored. If both the source and the destination have a complex property, the method will recurse if shallow is false.

public static CopyMatchingObjectPropertiesTo ( this source, object dest, bool shallow = false ) : void
source	this	Specifies the source object to copy from.
dest	object	Specifies the destination object to copy to.
shallow	bool	Specifies if the copy should be shallow.
return	void

GetPropertiesWithAttribute() public static method

public static GetPropertiesWithAttribute ( this obj, Type attributeType, bool inherit ) : System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[]
obj	this
attributeType	System.Type
inherit	bool
return	System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[]

GetPropertyValue() public static method

Gets the value of a property of a given object.

public static GetPropertyValue ( this obj, string propertyName ) : object
obj	this	Specifies the object from which to retrieve the property value.
propertyName	string	Specifies the name of the property to be returned. This /// value can be specified using "dot syntax", e.g. "FirstProperty.SecondProperty".
return	object

IsNullableType() public static method

Determines if the given object is Nullable<>.

public static IsNullableType ( this obj ) : bool
obj	this	Specifies the object instance.
return	bool

SetPropertyValue() public static method

Sets value of a property of a given object.

public static SetPropertyValue ( this obj, string propertyName, object propertyValue ) : void
obj	this	Specifies the object on which to act.
propertyName	string	Specifies the name of the property to be changed. This value /// can be specified using "dot syntax", e.g. "FirstProperty.SecondProperty".
propertyValue	object	Specifies the new value of the property.
return	void

SetPropertyValues() public static method

Sets value of multiple properties of a given object.

public static SetPropertyValues ( this obj, NameValueCollection propertyValues ) : void
obj	this	Specifies the object on which to act.
propertyValues	System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection	Specifies the names and values of the properties to set.
return	void
