do you need the properties of struct also in the dictionary?

Member 11859517 15-Sep-16 7:23am

yes, property only I want in dictionary.

Please describe the problem you are working with completely. Your getting answers that are helpful, but, also, are wild guesses. Accessing the Properties in an instance of a Struct in an instance of a Class before compiling is a totally different thing than accessing those properties at run-time, which requires reflection.

So: is your question about run-time, or compile-time ?

public struct MyStruct
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public struct MyStruct1
{
public int Id1 { get; set; }
public string Name1 { get; set; }
}

internal class MyClass
{
public MyStruct myStruct;
public MyStruct myStruct1;
}

MyClass m = new MyClass();
m.myStruct.ID = 123;
m.myStruct.Name = "xyz";

m.myStruct.ID1 = 890;
m.myStruct.Name1 = "abc";

GetProperties(m);

GetProperies(object m)
{}
i want it in run-time.

I want using the reflection.
if m contain property we can easily find out.
but here m contain another object. plz any solution?

Solution 2

private Dictionary<string, string> dict = new Dictionary<string, string>();
MyClass myClass = new MyClass();

// Get Class properties.
foreach (var prop in myClass.GetType().GetProperties())
{
	var propValue = prop.GetValue(myClass, null).ToString();
	this.dict.Add(prop.Name, propValue);
}

// Get struct properties.
var temp = myClass.myStruct;
foreach (var prop in temp.GetType().GetProperties())
{
    var propValue = prop.GetValue(temp).ToString();
    this.dict.Add(prop.Name, propValue);
}

thnaks Rick.
it working only for, if myClass contain properties.
but in my case myClass have some collectons,
example:
public struct MyStruct
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public struct MyStruct1
{
public int Id1 { get; set; }
public string Name1 { get; set; }
}

internal class MyClass
{
public MyStruct myStruct;
public MyStruct myStruct1;
}

MyClass m = new MyClass();
m.myStruct.ID = 123;
m.myStruct.Name = "xyz";

m.myStruct.ID1 = 890;
m.myStruct.Name1 = "abc";

GetProperties(m);

GetProperies(object m)
{
private Dictionary

That's a tricky one, maybe it's simpler to change your structs to classes, the differences are not that great.

Member 11859517 15-Sep-16 8:07am

doesn't matter whether it is class or struct. myClass will contain collection only.

RickZeeland 15-Sep-16 7:55am

See the updated solution for struct properties !

Member 11859517 15-Sep-16 8:12am

here, var temp = m.myStruct;
giving error.

Member 11859517 15-Sep-16 8:14am

and i have 3 structure.

Let say we have a struct as defined below;

internal struct MyStruct
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }

Which is used in the class;

internal class MyClass
    {
        public MyStruct myStruct { get; set; }
    }

Retrieving and updating Dictionary can be done as;

MyClass m = new MyClass();
            var required = m.myStruct.Id;

            Dictionary<int, string> dict = new Dictionary<int, string>();
            dict.Add(required, m.myStruct.Name);
