I'm trying to use reflection (ultimately on unknown at compile time) object
which include struct
. I've got as far as TypedReference.MakeTypedReference
but I've hit a wall.
Here's my Class and Struct
public class MyObject
{
public int Id;
public Money Amount;
}
public struct Money
{
public int Vaule;
public string Code;
}
And here is how I am trying to set "Code" of "Amount" in MyObject using reflection. As I mention above, I'm looking for a solution which does not know about these types at compile time (that would be too easy!)
Here's the code I have so far (I've used [0], [1] to make the code simpler)
var obj = new MyObject() { Id = 1 };
obj.Amount.Vaule = 10;
obj.Amount.Code = "ABC";
FieldInfo[] objFields = obj.GetType().GetFields();
FieldInfo[] moneyFields = objFields[1].GetValue(obj).GetType().GetFields();
List<FieldInfo> fields = new List<FieldInfo>() { objFields[1] };
fields.AddRange( moneyFields );
TypedReference typeRef = TypedReference.MakeTypedReference(
objFields[1].GetValue( obj ), fields.ToArray() );
moneyFields[1].SetValueDirect( typeRef, "XXX" );
The TypedReference.MakeTypedReference blows up with; "FieldInfo does not match the target Type." Likewise if I just pass objFields[1]
. And if pass just moneyFields
I get "TypedReferences cannot be redefined as primitives."
Why? Let's say I'm creating Random test fixtures and want to populate class fields with random data :)
