I'm a Delphi-convert, mostly into WinForms and C#. My first article is from 2001, extending the Delphi-debugger, which is still visible on the WayBackMachine[^] and even available in Russian[^] Smile | :)

GeneralTemporaryOverride class Pin

Sometimes you'd temporarily want to change the value of a variable, and the most common pattern is probably the one below;
C#
string temp = someObject.SomeValue;
someObject.SomeValue = "Updating, call again later";
try
{
    // do stuff
}
finally
{
    someObject.SomeValue = temp;
}

I'm currently working in VB.NET, and it would seem like a dandy idea to be able to do something like the pattern below;
VB.NET
Imports System
Imports SubSystem

Public Class SomeLogger
    Public CategoryName As String = "None Specified"
    Public Sub DoLog(ByVal SomeText As String)
        Console.WriteLine("{0}:    {1}", CategoryName, SomeText)
    End Sub
End Class

Public Class Application
    Public Shared Logger As New SomeLogger

    Public Shared Sub Main()
                
        Logger.DoLog("Hello World")

        Using Temporary.Override(Logger, "CategoryName", "Sub Main")
        
            Logger.DoLog("Hello World")
            
        End Using

        Logger.DoLog("Hello World")
        
    End Sub
End Class


Well, that's possible. Temporary is a static class, returning an IDisposable that wraps the property on said object. When the computer leaves the Using statement, the IDisposable will reflect the original value back, even if we exit the procedure by throwing a new exception.

The actual implementation as a reference;
C#
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Reflection;
using System.IO;
using System.ComponentModel;

namespace SubSystem
{
    public class Temporary
    {
        public static IDisposable Override (Object aObject, String aMemberName, Object aScopedValue)
        {
            return init (aMemberName, aObject.GetType (), aObject, aScopedValue);
        }
        public static IDisposable Override (Type aType, String aMemberName, Object aScopedValue)
        {
            return init (aMemberName, aType, null, aScopedValue);
        }
        
        static IDisposable init (String aMemberName, Type aType, Object aObject, Object aScopedValue)
        {
            MemberInfo memberInfo = aType.GetMember (aMemberName)[0];
            
            switch (memberInfo.MemberType) 
            {
                case MemberTypes.Property:
                    return new TemporaryOverrideProperty (
                        aObject == null ? aType : aObject, 
                        (PropertyInfo)memberInfo, 
                        aScopedValue);
    
                case MemberTypes.Field:
                    return new TemporaryOverrideField (
                        aObject == null ? aType : aObject, 
                        (FieldInfo)memberInfo, 
                        aScopedValue);
    
                default:
