Get the name of a specific attribute / property...
Jan 2 2008 4:48 AM
Hi all
I would like to get the name of an attribute, a property, a value at design time. Two examples:
1) The name of a Color
private const string GAINSBORO_COLOR_NAME = "Gainsboro";
[DefaultValue(typeof(Color), GAINSBORO_COLOR_NAME)]
public Color MyColor
{
get {return _color;}
set {_color = value;}
}
Here instead of hard-coding "Gainsboro", I would like to do something like GetName(Color.Gainsboro).
2) The name of an attribute
public class Example
{
public const string FOO_NAME = "foo";
private string foo;
public static Dictionary<string, string> SerializeObject(object my_object)
{
Dictionary<string, string> serialization = new Dictionary<string, string>();
foreach (PropertyInfo property in my_object.GetType().GetProperties())
{
serialization.Add(property.Name, value.ToString());
}
return serialization;
}
public static void DoStuffs(Example e)
{
Dictionary<string, string> serialization = SerializeObject(e);
string foo_value = serialization.Values[FOO_NAME];
}
}
Same as example 1: instead of hard-coding "foo" I would like to get it dynamically (so that if I change foo to bar I don't have to change "foo" to "bar").
I guess these things can be done with Reflexion but I have no idea how... I welcome any help!
One last thing: I'de rather do it with .NET 2.0 but if the solution does not exists with 2.0 or is neater with a more recent version of the framework, it'll do with 3.0/3.5
