Get protected property value of base class using reflection
Assuming the following parent and child class:
class BaseClass
{
private string privateField = "I'm Private";
}
class ChildClass : BaseClass
{
}
You can read privateField
's value from a ChildClass
instance using reflection like this:
ChildClass childInstance = new ChildClass();
object privateFieldValue = childInstance.GetType().BaseType
.GetField("privateField", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance)
.GetValue(childInstance);
Console.WriteLine(privateFieldValue); // I'm Private
To access ConfigurationId property i have used following code:
SubsetController controller = new SubsetController(new CConfigRepository(new FakeDataContextRepository()));
var myBaseClassProtectedProperty=
controller.GetType().BaseType
.GetProperty("CCITenderInfo", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance)
.GetValue(controller);
var myProtectedProperty =
CCITenderInfo.GetType()
.GetProperty("ConfigurationId", BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance)
.GetValue(myBaseClassProtectedProperty);
