Reflection - dynamically invoke enum property

I am trying to dynamically invoke a property of enumeration type but I can't
find a way to get it to work. This is my code which works fine until I call
InvokeMember and I get an ArgumentExcepti on. I've tried various combinations
of parameters in my call to InvokeMember but can't find anything that does
the job. Any help would be appreciated.

Jenny

Dim arrObj(0) As Object
Dim objPInfo As PropertyInfo = TextBox1.GetTyp e.GetProperty(" ScrollBars")
If Not objPInfo Is Nothing Then
If objPInfo.CanWri te Then
If objPInfo.Proper tyType.IsEnum Then
Dim objEnumType As Type = objPInfo.Proper tyType
Dim objFieldInfo As FieldInfo = objEnumType.Get Field("Both")
If Not objFieldInfo Is Nothing Then
arrObj(0) = Activator.Creat eInstance(objEn umType)
arrObj(0).GetTy pe.InvokeMember (objFieldInfo.N ame,
BindingFlags.Se tField, Nothing, arrObj(0), Nothing)
End If
End If
End If

TextBox1.GetTyp e.InvokeMember( "ScrollBars ", BindingFlags.Se tProperty,
Nothing, TextBox1, arrObj)

Jenny,
arrObj(0).GetTy pe.InvokeMember (objFieldInfo.N ame,
BindingFlags.S etField, Nothing, arrObj(0), Nothing)


I'm not sure what you're trying to do here. If you want to set the
property value, you should try using

objPInfo.SetVal ue(TextBox1, Enum.Parse(objE numType, "Both"), Nothing)

Hi, I have an old problem which I couldn't solve so far. Now I have found a post in that group that gave me an idea, but I can not fully understand it. The problem is: I'm trying to use a Windows.Forms.UserControl in a COM environment, i.e. I want to host that control in a COM host. So far, so good, I can host it, but I can not reach the parent COM object from the control (Parent property is null :( ). I have stopped the control in the...

I'm trying to use reflection to create an object at runtime where the type is given by a string. I thought we should be able to do that, but so far it's not working. I'm trying to work on reproducing the scenario in a simpler way, but it's slow going, and maybe there is something very basic I don't know yet....

I am trying to dynamically load an assembly via reflection and then invoke a method of that assembly that will populate a custom type collection passed into the method byref. I am able to dynamically load both the DALC component (for the method call) and the Entity component (for the custom type collection to pass in), but I keep getting an error ( Message "Object type cannot be converted to target type.") when invoking the method.

What good is C# Reflection, other than to find out what types are in an assembly? And to dynamically invoke methods in an assembly (.dll or .exe)? Also, bonus question, can you use Reflection to build a compiler? One that will construct a user defined class "on the fly" (literally, the user defines a class, instantiates it, and runs it from the console mode, all the while prompted by the program)? I guess so, but my final question...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
