PropertyInfo.Pr opertyType is never ValueType?

PropertyInfo[] props = obj.GetType().G etProperties();
foreach (PropertyInfo p in props)
if (p.PropertyType is ValueType)
this._commonPro perties.Add(p.N ame, p.GetValue(requ est,
null).ToString( ));

I get a warning that says p.PropertyType will never be ValueType....an d it
was right.
After stepping through it the types are "System.Boolean " etc...
I want to add all integer, string, and boolean types to NameValueCollec tion,
but not objects.

I thought System.Boolean was a ValueType?
How should I test for this?

INeedADip,

PropertyInfo.Pr opertyType returns "System.Typ e", so you are actually
querying whether or not "System.Typ e" is a value-type, and since the compiler
knows it's not and will never be, you get a warning.

You should rewrite as follows:
if (p.PropertyType .IsValueType)
{
...
}

HTH,
Baileys

I am trying to write a subroutine that will examine all the properties of a form to determine which of those are SqlCommand objects, and then set the Connection property of those SqlCommands to a passed-in SqlCommand object. I can find the properties OK but am unsuccessful in trying to change their value due to the way I have identified those SqlCommand objects (as a PropertyInfo). Can anyone give me a hint (or suggest a better way) as...

I have properties that wrap DataRow columns as in: public int aNumber { get{ return m_DataRow; } set{ m_DataRow = value; } } If the column happens to contain DBNull, I get a cast exception since DBNull cannot be converted to int. I wrote the following method that looks up the column's data type and if it is a ValueType, returns the default value for the ValueType.

I have adapted the following code from the MSDN help for PropertyInfo SetValue. In the original code, the structure MyStructure is defined as a class MyProperty, and it works as expected. There is also a minor change in class Mypropertyinfo, which I have commented out. When using a structure, however, the second call to GetValue returns "Default caption". Can anyone tell me why, and how I can make this work? <code> Imports System

when enumerating thru the properties of a type, how do I select only the properties of the derived class? In the example below, the AddrBookPrompt class is derived from the Form class. When I enumerate the properties I get all the properties of the base class + the properties of my derived class. thanks, AddrBookPrompt abPmt = new AddrBookPrompt();

I'm using Reflection to iterate over the properties and fields of an arbitrary object. For non-indexed properties it's pi.GetValue(theObject, Nothing) for VB, or pi.GetValue(theObject, null) for C# For indexed properties, instead of Nothing (null) you pass an array of index values. OK, no problem so far.

Hi, Im a bit confused about when you cast a value type to an object. I have a property grid wich stores the data and the defualt as objects. the data is limited to primitive types, structs and strings. the structs only have primitive types. however once ive set the data to the defualt, if the data is a struct then any edits change the defualt data as well
