Returns the property value of a specified object with optional index values for indexed properties.
public:
virtual System::Object ^ GetValue(System::Object ^ obj, cli::array <System::Object ^> ^ index);
public virtual object GetValue(object obj, object[] index);
public virtual object? GetValue(object? obj, object?[]? index);
abstract member GetValue : obj * obj[] -> obj
override this.GetValue : obj * obj[] -> obj
Public Overridable Function GetValue (obj As Object, index As Object()) As Object
Parameters
The object whose property value will be returned.
Optional index values for indexed properties. The indexes of indexed properties are zero-based. This value should be null
for non-indexed properties.
The property value of the specified object.
Implements ExceptionsThe index
array does not contain the type of arguments needed.
-or-
The property's get
accessor is not found.
The number of parameters in index
does not match the number of parameters the indexed property takes.
An error occurred while retrieving the property value. For example, an index value specified for an indexed property is out of range. The InnerException property indicates the reason for the error.
ExamplesThe following example shows how to get the value of an indexed property. The String.Chars[] property is the default property (the indexer in C#) of the String class.
using System;
using System.Reflection;
class Example
{
public static void Main()
{
string test = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
// Get a PropertyInfo object representing the Chars property.
PropertyInfo pinfo = typeof(string).GetProperty("Chars");
// Show the first, seventh, and last letters
ShowIndividualCharacters(pinfo, test, 0, 6, test.Length - 1);
// Show the complete string.
Console.Write("The entire string: ");
for (int x = 0; x < test.Length; x++)
{
Console.Write(pinfo.GetValue(test, new Object[] {x}));
}
Console.WriteLine();
}
static void ShowIndividualCharacters(PropertyInfo pinfo,
object value,
params int[] indexes)
{
foreach (var index in indexes)
Console.WriteLine("Character in position {0,2}: '{1}'",
index, pinfo.GetValue(value, new object[] { index }));
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
// The example displays the following output:
// Character in position 0: 'a'
// Character in position 6: 'g'
// Character in position 25: 'z'
//
// The entire string: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Imports System.Reflection
Module Example
Sub Main()
Dim test As String = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
' Get a PropertyInfo object representing the Chars property.
Dim pinfo As PropertyInfo = GetType(String).GetProperty("Chars")
' Show the first, seventh, and last characters.
ShowIndividualCharacters(pinfo, test, { 0, 6, test.Length - 1 })
' Show the complete string.
Console.Write("The entire string: ")
For x As Integer = 0 To test.Length - 1
Console.Write(pinfo.GetValue(test, { x }))
Next
Console.WriteLine()
End Sub
Sub ShowIndividualCharacters(pinfo As PropertyInfo,
value As Object,
ParamArray indexes() As Integer)
For Each index In indexes
Console.WriteLine("Character in position {0,2}: '{1}'",
index, pinfo.GetValue(value, { index }))
Next
Console.WriteLine()
End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
' Character in position 0: 'a'
' Character in position 6: 'g'
' Character in position 25: 'z'
'
' The entire string: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Remarks
To determine whether a property is indexed, use the GetIndexParameters method. If the resulting array has 0 (zero) elements, the property is not indexed.
This is a convenience method that provides an implementation for the abstract GetValue
method with a BindingFlags
parameter of Default
, the Binder
set to null
, and the CultureInfo
set to null
.
Because static properties belong to the type, not individual objects, get static properties by passing null
as the object argument. For example, use the following code to get the static CurrentCulture
property of CultureInfo
:
PropertyInfo CurCultProp =
(typeof(CultureInfo)).GetProperty("CurrentCulture");
Console.WriteLine("CurrCult: " +
CurCultProp.GetValue(null,null));
To use the GetValue
method, first get the class Type
. From the Type
, get the PropertyInfo
. From the PropertyInfo
, use the GetValue
method.
