0627 Dynamically Invoking a Member
<![CDATA[
Once you have a MemberInfo object, you can dynamically call it or get/set its value.
This is called dynamic binding or late binding.
To illustrate, the following uses ordinary static binding:
using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
string s = "Hello";
int length = s.Length;
}
}
Here's the same thing performed dynamically with reflection:
using System;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
object s = "Hello";
PropertyInfo prop = s.GetType().GetProperty("Length");
int length = (int)prop.GetValue(s, null); // 5
}
}
