C# reflection

Sample code:

 

object.GetType().GetProperties();

property.GetValue(request, null);

targetProperty.SetValue(object, value, null);

Type listType = typeof(List<>);

 //If the property is a list with generic type, return the generic type
 private static Type GetGenericInnerType(PropertyInfo property)
        {
            Type[] genericArgs = property.PropertyType.GetGenericArguments();
            if (genericArgs.Length > 0)
            {
                return genericArgs[0];
            }
            return null;
        }

// decide if the property is a list
private static bool IsList(PropertyInfo property)
        {
            return property.PropertyType.GetInterface("IList")!=null;
        }

// create an object of the given type
private static object CreateInstance(Type type)
        {
            return type.GetConstructor(new Type[0]).Invoke(new object[0]);
        }

// create a list with the give generic type
private static Object CreateGenericList(Type typeX)
        {
            Type listType = typeof(List<>);
            Type[] typeArgs = { typeX };
            Type genericType = listType.MakeGenericType(typeArgs);
            return Activator.CreateInstance(genericType);
        }
