The SetValue method in the TypeDescription class is used to set the value of a property or field on a given instance. This method attempts to assign the specified value to the property or field identified by the name parameter on the provided instance object.
To use the SetValue method, you need to provide the instance of the object you want to modify, the name of the property or field you wish to set, and the value you want to assign to it. The method returns a boolean indicating whether the operation was successful.
// Example usage of SetValue method
TypeDescription typeDescription = new TypeDescription();
object instance = new MyClass();
string propertyName = "MyProperty";
object newValue = 42;
bool success = typeDescription.SetValue(instance, propertyName, newValue);
if (success)
{
// The value was successfully set
}
else
{
// The value could not be set, handle accordingly
}
