I'm trying to generate a table in a razor view using reflection to pull the properties from the model.
Here is what I've tried:
@if (@Model.Count() > 0)
{
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[] properties = Model.First().GetType().GetProperties();
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
@foreach (var property in properties)
{
if (char.IsLower(property.Name.ToCharArray()[0])) //ignore foreign keys
{
continue;
}
<th>@property.Name</th>
}
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
@foreach (PCNWeb.Models.Switch item in Model)
{
/*System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[]*/ properties = item.GetType().GetProperties();
<tr>
@foreach (var property in properties)
{
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.[property.Name])
</td>
}
</tr>
}
</tbody>
</table>
}
Let me point out the part of the code that I'm not sure what to do with:
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.[property.Name])
</td>
The property.Name
contains the name of the property of item that I want to access.
If I were to hand write the innermost td
one example would be:
<td>
@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Switch_Location)
</td>
where "Switch_Location"
is the value of property.Name
So basically I need to access the value of a property of item based on the name of the property stored in a variable.
EDIT adding model:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema;
namespace PCNWeb.Models
{
public partial class Switch
{
public Switch()
{
this.Ports = new List<Port>();
this.Switch_Location = new Switch_Location();
this.Switch_Model = new Switch_Model();
this.UPS = new UPS();
}
