Question

I have this:

public string Log         {             get { return log; }             protected set             {                 if (log != value)                 {                     MarkModified(PropertyNames.Log, log);                     log = value;                 }             }          } 

And my utility class for databinding does this:

PropertyInfo pi = ReflectionHelper.GetPropertyInfo(boundObjectType, sourceProperty);  if (!pi.CanWrite)                 SetReadOnlyCharacteristics(boundEditor); 

But PropertyInfo.CanWrite does not care whether the set is publicly accessible, only that it exists.

How can I determine if there’s a public set, not just any set?

Answer 1

An alternative to the suggested changes to ReflectionHelper in other answers is to call pi.GetSetMethod(false) and see if the result is null.
