Detailed Description

Helper class to perform property introspection and dynamic reading and writing.

This class has symmetric implementation across all languages supported by Pip.Services toolkit and used to support dynamic data processing.

Because all languages have different casing and case sensitivity rules, this PropertyReflector treats all property names as case insensitive.

var myObj = new MyObject();

var properties = PropertyReflector.GetPropertyNames();
PropertyReflector.HasProperty(myObj, "myProperty");
var value = PropertyReflector.GetProperty(myObj, "myProperty");
PropertyReflector.SetProperty(myObj, "myProperty", 123);

Member Function Documentation

GetProperties()

static Dictionary<string, object> PipServices3.Commons.Reflect.PropertyReflector.GetProperties ( object  obj )

static

Get values of all properties in specified object and returns them as a map.

Parameters

obj	an object to get properties from.

Returns

a map, containing the names of the object's properties and their values.

GetProperty()

static object PipServices3.Commons.Reflect.PropertyReflector.GetProperty ( object  obj, string  name  )

static

Gets value of object property specified by its name.

Parameters

obj	an object to read property from.
name	a name of the property to get.

Returns

the property value or null if property doesn't exist or introspection failed.

GetPropertyNames()

static List<string> PipServices3.Commons.Reflect.PropertyReflector.GetPropertyNames ( object  obj )

static

Gets names of all properties implemented in specified object.

Parameters

obj	an objec to introspect.

Returns

a list with property names.

HasProperty()

static bool PipServices3.Commons.Reflect.PropertyReflector.HasProperty ( object  obj, string  name  )

static

Checks if object has a property with specified name.

Parameters

obj	an object to introspect.
name	a name of the property to check.

Returns

true if the object has the property and false if it doesn't.

SetProperties()

static void PipServices3.Commons.Reflect.PropertyReflector.SetProperties ( object  obj, Dictionary< string, object >  values  )

static

Sets values of some (all) object properties. If some properties do not exist or introspection fails they are just silently skipped and no errors thrown.

Parameters

obj	an object to write properties to.
values	a map, containing property names and their values.

See SetProperty(object, string, object)

SetProperty()

static void PipServices3.Commons.Reflect.PropertyReflector.SetProperty ( object  obj, string  name, object  value  )

static

Sets value of object property specified by its name. If the property does not exist or introspection fails this method doesn't do anything and doesn't any throw errors.

Parameters

obj	an object to write property to.
name	a name of the property to set.
value	a new value for the property to set.
