Question

I need to cast to a specific Type at Runtime.

How it works, and looks like – now:

Customer test = (Customer)entityBase.GetType().GetProperty("Customer").GetValue(entityBase, null);

The Customer as String, where I need for GetProperty(), isn’t written like that directly, it comes from a Variable, that changes always. I just wrote “Customer”, for comprehension purposes.

What I want now is the same, but without telling, that its a Customer or any Type.

Placeholder test = (Placeholder)entityBase.GetType().GetProperty("That Changes, thats fine").GetValue(entityBase, null);

Cause it could also be something like that:

Order test = (Order)entityBase.GetType().GetProperty("That Changes, thats fine").GetValue(entityBase, null);

I tried things like businnesObject = Activator.CreateInstance(type);

Hope someone has a small solution for this

Answer 1

Customer and Order both inherit from System.Object, so you can just use

Object test = entityBase.GetType().GetProperty("That Changes, thats fine").GetValue(entityBase, null);
