Prev: set value by having the value as string represented.
Next: anyone know vbnet in autoCad? I keep crashing acad.
From: Mr. X. on 21 Jun 2010 08:45 Hello. I am using the propertyInfo type. dim pi as propertyInfo pi = myClass.getType().getProperty("myPropertyName", BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.Instance) myPropertyName may be any property, such as borderLevel, etc. I want to set myPropertyName to a specific value, as propertyGrid does (I mean - by sending it a string). I see there are methods : getGetMethod, and getSetMethod - Are those method the property editors ? Can I use those method to solve the problem ? How can I do that ? Thanks :)

You need to convert the String values into the correct Type for the property or find a converter that will do the job for you. This isn't VB6 - you can't get away with half as much as you used to and Evil Type Coercion is all but gone. You simply must get things into the right Type. > I see there are methods : getGetMethod, and getSetMethod - Are those > method the property editors ? No; those are the methods called when your code wants to "get" and "set" the property's value (everything boils down to a method in .Net, even though they look like properties to you and me).
