How to create correct InstanceDescriptor for initializing some properties
Lets say I have a class like this:
public class Foo
{
public Foo {}
public int Titi { get; set; }
public int Toto { get; set; }
public int Tata { get; set; }
}
I can initialize a new instance like this:
var inst = new Foo { Titi = 12, Toto = 42, Tata = 421 };
But how can I create correct instance descriptor that performs same initialization as above?
public class FooConverter : TypeConverter
{
// ...
public override object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context,
CultureInfo culture,
object value,
Type destinationType)
{
if (destinationType == typeof(InstanceDescriptor) && value is Foo)
{
// Incorrect example because properties wont
// be initialized to 12, 42 and 421开发者_StackOverflow
var ctor = typeof(Foo).GetConstructor(Type.EmptyTypes);
return new InstanceDescriptor(ctor, null);
}
// ...
}
}
NB1: I'm asking this because I want to create a TypeConverter for 'Foo' class and need to provide convertion to 'InstanceDescriptor'
NB2: Yes, I can add a constructor to Foo class that takes 3 arguments, but would like to avoid this and also would like to know which "construction description" corresponds to above sample.
I don't know what you are trying to use but it seem that InstanceDescriptor don't only take constructors so you could do something like this :
public static class FooSerialization
{
public static Foo CreateDesignFooInstance()
{
return new Foo { Titi = 12, Toto = 42, Tata = 421 };
}
}
And then :
var m = typeof(FooSerialization).GetMethod("CreateDesignFooInstance",
BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public);
var desc = new InstanceDescriptor(m, null);
