Description
The GetProperty
method of the TypeDescription
class retrieves a PropertyDescription
object that represents a property of the described type, identified by its name. This method is useful for accessing metadata about a specific property of a type, such as its name, type, and attributes.
Usage
To use the GetProperty
method, you need to have an instance of TypeDescription
that describes the type you are interested in. You can then call GetProperty
with the name of the property you want to retrieve. This method returns a PropertyDescription
object if the property exists, or null
if it does not.
Example
// Assume 'typeDescription' is an instance of TypeDescription
string propertyName = "MyProperty";
PropertyDescription propertyDescription = typeDescription.GetProperty(propertyName);
if (propertyDescription != null)
{
// Access property metadata
Console.WriteLine($"Property Name: {propertyDescription.Name}");
Console.WriteLine($"Property Type: {propertyDescription.PropertyType}");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Property not found.");
}
