Thanks for trying. Unfortunately I disagree with what little you had to contribute.
Basing it on fields doesn't in any way constrain what types can be used. Fields *are* the entire state of any object. Properties often reflect state, but far from always, and they need not be writeable and indeed often should not be.
As for reflection, that would be easy, but not performant. The point of my post was I already know how to do this with reflection, but I want to avoid it and do something fast instead.
I'm now wondering if I can use dynamc methods built using reflection.emit. Then I would not need to modify any existing type, merely to generate a type which accesses the private fields of another type. It must be possible some way or another, since FieldInfo.GetValue can do it...! Don't know what IL to emit though.
Perhaps if I cache the fieldinfo instances performance won't suffer too much and reflection alone will do..?

Maybe you want to consider using a variation of the ideas presented in this[^] article.

Fields may not be writable either (or even readable), and indeed often should not be. My point is that if you support both fields and properties, you support a greater number of types.

If it's the only way, then it's the fastest way.

That's what I would do.

Fields being nothing more than a portion of memory corresponding to a part of a type value, it is *always* writeable. A constant (literal) isn't writeable, but a field ultimately is. At least I believe readonly fields is nothing more than a compile-time check, and not some run-time check of whether the code attempting to access a field is allowed to do so.

Nope.
And are you planning to write to private fields? I don't recommend that.

Try it.
P.S. I just tried it and it worked!

Can anyone suggest me how to change the colour of scrollbar of richtextbox/panel/gridview ?
As we change the Windows theme, the colour of scroll bar changes.
I want to depict this behaviour in one of my application, but without changing the windows theme.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I only had a look at DataGridView but suppose it is similar for the other controls. The grid does not expose the scrollbar objects, it only exposes the ScrollBars property which is just an enum to define if you want no scrollbars, horizontal/vertical only, or both.
Hence, there is no API for doing what you want to. You can access the scrollbar via the Controls collection, but be aware that if the implementation details of the DataGridView changes, your code may break.
The absolutely easiest and worst way is to simply index into this collection. I tried this code:
void foo()
{
var g = new DataGridView();
ToString();
}
The second line is just a dummy for me to set a breakpoint so I could have a look in the watch list. Set a breakpoint there, make sure something calls foo(), and run. Then add the watch g.Controls and you'll see that by default the grid contains two controls, the horizontal and the vertical scrollbar. Hence, this code would succeed for such a grid:
g.Controls[0].BackColor = Color.Red;
However, the scrollbar may of course not be the first control of the datagrid in all situations, such as when we've databound it. A more robust solution would be to search a part of the control tree for a given type and use that to find the scrollbar. Then your code would depend only on the grid or whatever control contains it having one and only one sub-control of type HScrollBar (for the horizonal one).
Let's put this general code in a separate class so it can be reused, and call it Util for now (you may want to bundle this method with related functionality and make it into a ControlUtil or WinFormsUtil or whatever).
static public class Util
{
static public T Find<T>(Control container) where T : Control
{
foreach (Control child in container.Controls)
return (child is T ? (T)child : Find<T>(child));
return null;
}
}
Now you can use this to find and access subcontrols not directly exposed by the container. You may also want to add a FindAll method to find all subcontrols of a particular type, or one that searches by using a predicate function so you can select a subcontrol based on it's property values rather than only on type. But you get the idea, hopefully.
Usage: Util.Find<HScrollBar>(dataGridView1).BackColor = Color.Red;
Remember however that this approach is not guaranteed to work if and when you move to a new framework version. The grid does not expose any HScrollBar and is free to replace this with some other implementation in the future, in which case your code would break.
Also, for the Panel or other container controls, this won't be enough if the control contain any other controls that have scrollbars! Find here simply returns the first subcontrol found of the given type, and it searches depth first (i.e. if the first subcontrol is not the given type, search it's subcontrols before continuing to the next sibling). But you can adapt this to search level by level if you want, or restrict it to searching only the direct children of the container (I don't know if a Panel's scrollbars are direct children, but it's likely) or use any other method of your choosing to find the appropriate object. In any case you can use the central idea of gaining access to the subcontrol by finding it in the control subtree - as long as you accept that this logic may not be valid forever and might have to change if the controls do.

Hi there
How do you bind (in WindowsForms) with a textbox to a datasource property with the type of 'decimal?' (that is, Nullable<decimal>)?
To do a straightforward binding is simple, I got that to work, i.e. when you type a value in the textbox it updates in the datasource properly but when I empty out the textbox, I expect the property to have a value of null but the textbox refuses to loose focus or to have any other event to take place until a valid number is entered.
Did anyone had a similar issue?
Let me know if its not clear enough.
Thanks

Nah, doesn't hurt - but if we can't be rude to them, we can't be rude to them! (Even when the post has been deleted!)

i think for this you can use Range expression validator instead of Regular Expression

I don't have any experience with Crystal Reports, but do you really have to convert a number to a string? I can see the challange in doing the opposite though...
