I've two classes as these
Namespace Business
Public Class Core
Public Shared ReadOnly Property Settings As DBManager.Settings
Get
Return DBManager.Settings.GetSettings
End Get
End Property
End Class
End Namespace
Namespace DBManager
Public Class Settings
Private _Name As String
Public Property Name As String
Get
Return _Name
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
_Name = value
End Set
End Property
Private _Title As String
Public Property Title As String
Get
Return _Title
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
_Title = value
End Set
End Property
Public Shared Function GetSettings() As Settings
Return New Settings With {.Name = "Website", .Title = "My Product Site"}
End Function
End Class
End Namespace
Now, I wish to create a DataBound Label control with a property name as DataProperty where I can pass the full path of the property name.
Namespace Application.Controls
Public Class ExtendedLabel
Inherits Label
Public Property DataProperty As String
Get
If ViewState("DataProperty") Is Nothing Then
Return String.Empty
Else
Return CStr(ViewState("DataProperty"))
End If
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
ViewState("DataProperty") = value
End Set
End Property
Private Sub ExtendedLabel_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(DataProperty) Then
Me.Text = GetReflectedValue()
End If
End Sub
Private Function GetReflectedValue() As String
//'Need suggestion here
End Function
End Class
End Namespace
usage will be something like this
<cc:ExtendedLabel id="elName" runat="server" DataProperty="Business.Core.Settings.Name" />
Kindly suggest a way to access this value using Reflection.
Just to clarify, I want to be able to access any property in any class of any namespace, static or instantiated. Therefore I cannot use a declarative format as given in
