I'm trying to get some information from an msi file I used: Type installerType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("WindowsInstaller.Installer"); object installerInstance = installerType.CreateInstance(installerType); i'm well aware of the option to add reference to the file C:\windows\system32\msi.dll, and cast installerInstance to WindowsInst...
I've seen quite a few questions related to how do I invoke a method like this and that. What I haven't found is a listing of the different options of how to invoke a method via reflection or any other means in csharp. Can someone explain in detail the different ways of dynamically invoking a method in csharp? From reflection to emitting...
Hello all! I have a method which in essence converts a datatable to a list of objects which I call 'Bags'. This code is called many times per session, with many sessions concurrently running and with sometimes thousands of rows. Because of this I need it to be as quick as possible. I have an xml file which contains the DataColumn to ...
I have some code that references an outside DLL which in production will be loaded by a factory. The DLL shouldn't be referenced directly by my assembly, it will be loaded at runtime using Assembly.Load(). This all works just fine, but when it comes to debugging, I want to be able to step through the library as if I'd referenced it usi...

I am trying to do the following: Given TypeInfo after reflecting on a LINQ-to-SQL object with various EntitySet<> child collections, retrieve the collection Do some operations on the collection The code below does not compile, obviously - just looking for another way to do this [Note, "Facade" is the L2S object in question).

I'm trying to write a Compare method to compare properties in some POCOs using Reflection to ensure that they've been persisted to the database correctly. For example, let's say I have this POCO: public class NoahsArk { public string Owner { get; set; } public ICollection<Animal> Animals { get; set; } } What I want to do is th...
Given this class public partial class Default : Page { private IRepository repo; ... } I want to find and set the private repo field. Is that possible? UPDATE I tried using the GetFields(BindingFlags.NonPublic), it returns {System.Reflection.FieldInfo[0]}. UPDATE II I tried using the GetFields(BindingFlags.NonPublic | Bin...
Lets say I have some random .cs file containing a class with some properties and methods of all sorts. How can I iterate the names (as strings) of all these public string properties? Example.cs: Public class Example { public string FieldA {get;set;} public string FieldB {get;set;} private string Message1 {get;set;} public int some...
I want to understand why the protocol buffers solution for .NET developed by Marc Gravell is as fast as it is. I can understand how the original Google solution achieved its performance: it pre-generates optimized code for object serialization; I've written some serialization by hand and know that it is possible to write pretty fast co...
Hi folks, I need a way to check out all namespaces used by a type via reflection. namespace My.Program.BaseTypes { using System; using System.Text; using My.Program.Extenders; using My.Program.Helpers; using My.Program.Interfaces; public class MyTypeBase { public MyTypeBase() { } ...
Lets say I have a inheritance tree of interfaces: IParent > IChild > IGrandChild How would I: Find a class that implements IParent Determine the closest ancestor of the class that is also a child of IParent. For example: var myClass = FindImplementor<IParent>(); var myInterface = ClosestAncestor<IParent, myclass>(); I'm not look...
I have a broken Assembly that I want to reflect over, its not broken badly, it just cannot find a referenced assembly, so it does fail a PEVerify. But....Assembly.LoadFrom() will still load it and GetTypes() will throw a ReflectionTypeLoadException, the .LoaderExceptions array shows me what referenced assembly cannot be found. At this po...
This seems like a really basic thing that I'm doing, yet I'm tearing my hair out trying to make it work. My situation is this: I have a project which contains a large number of lookup tables, and I have all of these lookup tables represented in a single typed DataSet, which contains TableAdapters for each lookup. I've designed an edito...
