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.");
}
