I'm using Reflection to iterate over the properties and fields of an
arbitrary object. For non-indexed properties it's
pi.GetValue(the Object, Nothing) for VB, or pi.GetValue(the Object, null)
for C#
For indexed properties, instead of Nothing (null) you pass an array of index
values.
OK, no problem so far.
But how do you tell that the property is indexed? I've been all over the
PropertyInfo object in the debugger looking for a clue, all over the MSDN
library, and all over Google groups but I can't seem to figure out how to
tell without letting it pull an exception and handling it in the exception
handler - too ugly and slow to be the only way to do it.
This can't be that hard. Any suggestions?

Hi,
The property type can be checked using,
if (propertyInfo.P ropertyType == typeof(IList))
{
IList list = (IList)property Info.GetValue (selectedRoleIn fo, null);
if (list.Count 0)
{
.............
.............
}
}
Basically, we are checking whether, the property is an IList(ArrayList may be..),
and then access the individual items.
Basically, we are checking whether, the property is an IList(ArrayList may be..),
and then access the individual items.
First - I don't think that is what the OP meant.
Second - very few properties will actually be IList, so the "==
typeof(IList)" check looks dodgy.
I suspect the answer is to look at GetIndexParamet ers(), as below.
Marc
using System.Reflecti on;
class Foo
{
public string this[int i]
{
get { return i.ToString(); }
}
static void Main()
{
Foo foo = new Foo();
PropertyInfo pi = typeof(Foo).Get Property("Item" );
// this just to show...
ParameterInfo[] indexes = pi.GetIndexPara meters();
object[] indexValues = {1};
object val = pi.GetValue(foo , indexValues);
}
}

I tried the above code snippet. I got the "Index was outside the
bounds of the array" exception.
I even guessed at different values for object[] indexValues - {0} or
{1} ... same exception ...
I tried the above code snippet.
To do what? For an indexed property, it works fine. By your other
post, do you mean you tried it with an array? There is a big
difference between an indexer property, and a regular property that
returns an array (which can be accessed by index).
Here's something re arrays...
Marc
using System.Reflecti on;
using System;
class Foo
{
public int[] SomeVals {
get { return new int[] { 1, 2, 3 }; }
}
static void Main()
{
Foo foo = new Foo();
PropertyInfo pi = typeof(Foo).Get Property("SomeV als");
// for indexed properties
ParameterInfo[] indexers = pi.GetIndexPara meters();
bool isIndexed = indexers.Length 0;
// for properties that are arrays
bool isArray = pi.PropertyType .IsArray;
// since it isn't indexed and is an array...
// (although I'd probably assume zero-based arrays
// in most common circumstances)
Array arr = (Array) pi.GetValue(foo , null);
object firstValue = arr.GetValue(ar r.GetLowerBound (0));
}
}
Actually - I should clarify; the above applies primarily to arrays
(which is what you asked about) - but actually our anonymous friend
(from earlier today) is half-right too; you can use IList, which is
pretty ubiquitious, and covers arrays, collections, lists, etc...
IList list = pi.GetValue(foo , null) as IList;
if (list != null)
{
foreach (object obj in list)
{
Console.WriteLi ne(obj);
}

them in nested classes to organize them better.

I'm stuck with this. I'm trying to obtain the SelectedValue property
for a combobox control on UserControl using reflection.
So I write:
PropertyInfo pi =

This always returns a value null, and throws an exception hence.
