Using reflection, how do i detect properties that have setters . .

Question

i have this code to loop through an object and get all of its properties through reflection

  foreach (var propertyInfo in typeof(TBase).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance))
  {
        var oldValue = propertyInfo.GetValue(oldVersion, null);
  }

how can i do a check to only look at properties that have a "Set" on them (i want to ignore read only values - just get)

Answer 1

propertyInfo.GetSetMethod() != null

Answer 2

PropertyInfo.CanWrite (documentation)

PropertyInfo.GetSetMethod (documentation)

Answer 3

Just add BindingFlags.SetProperty to your flags before getting your propreties.

foreach (var propertyInfo in typeof(TBase).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.SetProperty))
{
    var oldValue = propertyInfo.GetValue(oldVersion, null);
}
