I want to have a method that could traverse an object by property names

  • 0

I want to have a method that could traverse an object by property names and get me the value of the property.

More specifically as an input I have a string like “Model.Child.Name” and I want this method to take an object and get me the value that could be found programatically via: object.Model.Child.Name.

I understand that the only way to do this is to use Reflection, but I don’t want to write this code on my own, because I believe that there are pitfalls. Moreover, I think it is more or less usual task.

Is there any well-known implementation of algorithm like that on C#?

    Reflection is the way to go.

    Reflection to access properties at runtime

    You can take a look at ObjectDumper and modify the source code as per your requirement.

    ObjectDumper take a .NET object and dump it to string, file, textWriter etc.
