Let's say that I have
DBContext principal = new DBContext();
var x = principal.GetType().GetProperty("SomeClass").GetType();
I now have the PropertyInfo of DbSet< SomeClass >
What I'm trying to do now is somehow iterate (convert to list for example) and get the values from each row in the table.
imagine I could do this:
x[0] // would be the 0th entery in DbSet<SomeClass>, the first row aka of type SomeClass
From here I would know how to further drill down and access properties (using the same principle as above)
DbSet implements both IEnumerable
and IEnumerable<T>,
so something like:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace efAW
{
class Program
{
static IEnumerable GetAllMembers(DbContext db, string dbSetName)
{
var pi = db.GetType().GetProperty(dbSetName);
return (IEnumerable)pi.GetValue(db);
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
using (var db = new aw())
{
var customers = GetAllMembers(db, "Customers").OfType<Customer>().ToList();
}
}
}
}
