wwDotNetBridge::GetPropertyEx

Retrieves a property value from an object instance via Reflection. This method is an extended property retrieval method that allows for . syntax and array/indexer syntax in the property string value.

Examples:

** Access a nested property (or several nesting levels down
lcStreet = loBridge.GetPropertyEx(loItem,"Address.Street")

** Access an indexed property
loPerson = loBridge.GetPropertyEx(loItem,"Persons[0]")
lcName = loBridge.GetPropertyEx(loItem,"Persons[0].Name")

Use this method if you're dealing with an object such as a generic type of collection or struct that COM doesn't support direct access from FoxPro via COM.

o.GetPropertyEx(loInstance, lcProperty)

Return Value

Value

Parameters

loInstance
A .NET object instance

lcProperty
The property or property path to set the value on as a string.

Supports . syntax (Property.ChildProperty.ChildProperty) to drill down into object hierarchy as well as Array/Collection indexers (Item[0])

Example

While this method is much more flexible than the GetProperty method, it also adds some parsing overhead. If performance is important manual drill down via GetProperty calls may be more efficient.
