Well, the method behind a getter and setter are “real” methods. Re tracking back to a property – the pattern (return vs take 1 arg) will help narrow it – but you’ll have to call GetGetMethod/GetSetMethod on each to find the property. You could probably try the Name (less get__/set__) – but that feels brittle. … Read more

If you already have a PropertyInfo, then @dtb’s answer of using PropertyInfo.Name is the right way. If, however, you’re wanting to find out which property’s code you’re currently in, you’ll have to traverse the current call stack to find out which method you’re currently executing and derive the property name from there. var stackTrace = … Read more

Try this: Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle(); PropertyInfo propertyInfo = typeof(Rectangle).GetProperty(“Height”); object boxed = rectangle; propertyInfo.SetValue(boxed, 5, null); rectangle = (Rectangle) boxed;

Not all conversions are possible, though, and you may need to write special case logic if you want to support conversions from types that are not IConvertible. The corresponding code (without exception handling or special … Read more
Use typeof(Book).GetProperties() to get an array of PropertyInfo instances. Then use GetCustomAttributes() on each PropertyInfo to see if any of them have the Author Attribute type. If they do, you can get the name of the property from the property info and the attribute values from the attribute. Something along these lines to scan a … Read more
Methods can have optional parameters, but, you can also overload – so, while you seem to want a constructor (because you’re creating objects, but, you could make it methods.. but you do need to make the object first then!): potentially you could have 2 constructors to allow for those conditions : public OpenAccount (String name, … Read more
