Indicates whether the property described by this PropertyDescription instance can be written to. This property is useful for determining if a property has a setter method that allows modification of its value.
Indicates whether the property described by this PropertyDescription instance can be written to. This property is useful for determining if a property has a setter method that allows modification of its value.
Use the CanWrite property to check if a property can be modified. This is particularly useful when dynamically interacting with properties, such as when using reflection or building dynamic UI components that need to know if a property is editable.
// Example of using the CanWrite property
PropertyDescription propertyDescription = ...; // Assume this is initialized
if (propertyDescription.CanWrite)
{
// The property can be written to
// You can safely call SetValue on this property
propertyDescription.SetValue(targetObject, newValue);
}
else
{
// The property is read-only
// Handle the read-only case, perhaps by displaying a message to the user
}
