.NET 3.5 Reflection Help

Question

Sup Guys,

On my Bussiness Layer, I have something like

Dim object as New ExampleObject

Where ExampleObject inherits BaseExampleObject.

I want to know how can I access ExampleObject Properties by reflection on my BaseExampleObject.

Something like:

MyBase.GetType.GetProperty("PropertyName").GetValue(mybase.gettype, Nothing)

Of course thats not going to work because this is not an instance of an object and if I instantiate a new object, I'll lose the reference from my Bussiness Layer.

Anyone got a hint?

Thanks

Hi, cast your BaseExampleObject to ExampleObject:

BaseExampleObject b;
b = new ExampleObject();
((ExampleObject)b).Something();
