public static class ReflectionHelpers

Methods

AccessInternalField<T>(Type, Object, String)

Cheater extension to access internal field of an object

Declaration

public static T AccessInternalField<T>(this Type type, object obj, string memberName)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Type	type	The type of the field
System.Object	obj	The object to access
System.String	memberName	The string name of the field to access

Returns

Type	Description
T	The value of the field in the objects

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T

CopyFields(Object, Object, BindingFlags)

Copy the fields from one object to another

Declaration

public static void CopyFields(Object src, Object dst, BindingFlags bindingAttr = BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Object	src	The source object to copy from
Object	dst	The destination object to copy to
System.Reflection.BindingFlags	bindingAttr	The mask to filter the attributes. Only those fields that get caught in the filter will be copied

GetFieldPath<TType, TValue>(Expression<Func<TType, TValue>>)

Returns a string path from an expression - mostly used to retrieve serialized properties without hardcoding the field path. Safer, and allows for proper refactoring.

Declaration

public static string GetFieldPath<TType, TValue>(Expression<Func<TType, TValue>> expr)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Expression<Func<TType, TValue>>	expr

Returns

Type	Description
System.String

Type Parameters

Name	Description
TType
TValue

GetParentObject(String, Object)

Get the object owner of a field. This method processes the '.' separator to get from the object that owns the compound field to the object that owns the leaf field

Declaration

public static object GetParentObject(string path, object obj)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	path	The name of the field, which may contain '.' separators
System.Object	obj	the owner of the compound field

Returns

Type	Description
System.Object
