Question

class ClassA 
{
   public ClassB myProp {get;set;}
}

class ClassB 
{
   public ClassC anotherProp {get;set;}
}

class ClassC 
{
   public string Name {get;set;}
}

I have an object of the ClassA type. How, by the reflection iterate recursively to get ClassC’s Name property value ?

Answer 1

Ok, solved.
Let’s say that I have the path to the Property which value I wanna get:

ClassB.ClassC.Name

then, after splitting that parh I iterate through the tree without recursion 😉

var dataPath = column.SortMemberPath.Split(new char[] { '.' });

[...]

foreach (var item in (System.Collections.IList)myObject)
{
   var newItem = item;

   foreach (var path in dataPath)
   {
         var actalValue = newItem.GetType().GetProperty(path).GetValue(newItem, null);
         newItem = actalValue; //it does the trick
   }

   now, the newItem is my wanted property value 
}
