Methods

Create(Type)

A kind of "virtual constructor" of any type of object. Example call for a constructor with no params/arguments Create(typeof(object));

public static object Create(this Type ClassType)

Parameters

ClassType Type

Returns

object

Create(Type, object[])

A kind of "virtual constructor" of any type of object. Example call for a constructor Create(typeof(object), new object[]{ });

public static object Create(this Type ClassType, object[] Args)

Parameters

ClassType Type

Args object[]

Returns

object

Create(Type, Type[], object[])

A kind of "virtual constructor" of any type of object. Example call for a constructor with no params/arguments Create(typeof(object), new Type[]{ }, new object[]{ });

public static object Create(this Type ClassType, Type[] Params, object[] Args)

Parameters

ClassType Type

Params Type[]

Args object[]

Returns

object

FindField(object, string)

Returns the value of a public or non-public field with FieldName which is declared in the type of the Instance or any of its ancestors. Returns null if the field is not found.

public static object FindField(object Instance, string FieldName)

Parameters

Instance object

FieldName string

Returns

object

FindField(Type, string)

Finds and returns a public or non-public FieldInfo with FieldName, if any in the Type or any base type, else null.

public static FieldInfo FindField(this Type Type, string FieldName)

Parameters

Type Type

FieldName string

Returns

FieldInfo

FindIntegerIndexer(Type)

Returns the one-dimensional integer indexer property of the ClassType, if it has one, otherwise null.

public static PropertyInfo FindIntegerIndexer(this Type ClassType)

Parameters

ClassType Type

Returns

PropertyInfo

FindPublicProperty(Type, string)

Finds the public instance property of ClassType by PropertyName

public static PropertyInfo FindPublicProperty(this Type ClassType, string PropertyName)

Parameters

ClassType Type

PropertyName string

Returns

PropertyInfo

GetArgTypes(object[])

Tries to infer Type-s of Args. If an Arg is null, it infers the typeof(object)

public static Type[] GetArgTypes(object[] Args)

Parameters

Args object[]

Returns

Type[]

GetDefaultFormat(Type)

Returns the default format string for the specified type.

public static string GetDefaultFormat(this Type T)

Parameters

T Type

Returns

string

GetFields(Type, Type)

Returns a list of public and non-public fields of the Type, including inherited fields. It includes fields up to LastType.

public static IList<FieldInfo> GetFields(this Type Type, Type LastType)

Parameters

Type Type

LastType Type

Returns

IList<FieldInfo>

GetPublicPropertyValue(object, string)

Returns the value of the public property PropertyName, if any, else null.

public static object GetPublicPropertyValue(object Instance, string PropertyName)

Parameters

Instance object

PropertyName string

Returns

object

GetPublicPropertyValue(Type, object, string)

Returns the value of the public prorperty PropertyName of Instance. Instance must be of type ClassType.

If Instance is null or Instance has not a PropertyName public property, null is returned.

public static object GetPublicPropertyValue(this Type ClassType, object Instance, string PropertyName)

Parameters

ClassType Type

Instance object

PropertyName string

Returns

object
