Reflection Performance – Create Delegate (Properties C#)

by

This should work for you:

static Action<object, object> BuildSetAccessor(MethodInfo method)
{
    var obj = Expression.Parameter(typeof(object), "o");
    var value = Expression.Parameter(typeof(object));

    Expression<Action<object, object>> expr =
        Expression.Lambda<Action<object, object>>(
            Expression.Call(
                Expression.Convert(obj, method.DeclaringType),
                method,
                Expression.Convert(value, method.GetParameters()[0].ParameterType)),
            obj,
            value);

    return expr.Compile();
}

Usage:

var accessor = BuildSetAccessor(typeof(TestClass).GetProperty("MyProperty").GetSetMethod());
var instance = new TestClass();
accessor(instance, "foo");
Console.WriteLine(instance.MyProperty);

With TestClass:

public class TestClass 
{
    public string MyProperty { get; set; }
}

Prints out:

foo
