C# 可以利用反射给只读属性赋值吗？-白红宇

结论：可以

验证demo如下：

using System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.ComponentModel;using System.Data;using System.Drawing;using System.Linq;using System.Text;using System.Windows.Forms;namespace IconTest{    public partial class Form2 : Form    {        public Form2()        {            InitializeComponent();            ReflectTest rt = new ReflectTest();            rt.GetType().GetProperty("ID").SetValue(rt, "Guid", null);            MessageBox.Show(rt.ID);        }    }    public class ReflectTest    {        private string id;        [ReadOnly(true)]        public string ID        {            get            {                return id;            }            set            {                id = value;            }        }    }}

运行winform程序输出：

小注：

TypeDescriptor.GetProperties用来setvalue这没有作用：

TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(rt)["ID"].SetValue(rt, "Guid");

那么为什么TypeDescriptor.GetProperties用来setvalue没有效果呢？

将上面的代码拆成如下两句：

PropertyDescriptor prop = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(rt)["ID"];prop.SetValue(rt, "Guid");

单点跟踪进去，可以发现：

在获取到PropertyDescriptor这个抽象类的实例后，在调用SetValue方法的时候，是从其子类ReflectPropertyDescriptor调用的。

而具体的实现是在子类：ReflectPropertyDescriptor中，从微软源码中找到ReflectPropertyDescriptor及SetValue

public override void SetValue(object component, object value) {#if DEBUG            if (PropDescUsageSwitch.TraceVerbose) {                string compName = "(null)";                string valName  = "(null)";                if (component != null)                    compName = component.ToString();                if (value != null)                    valName = value.ToString();                Debug.WriteLine("[" + Name + "]: SetValue(" + compName + ", " + valName + ")");            }#endif            if (component != null) {                ISite site = GetSite(component);                IComponentChangeService changeService = null;                object oldValue = null;                object invokee = GetInvocationTarget(componentClass, component);                Debug.Assert(!IsReadOnly, "SetValue attempted on read-only property [" + Name + "]");                if (!IsReadOnly) {                    // Announce that we are about to change this component                    //                    if (site != null) {                        changeService = (IComponentChangeService)site.GetService(typeof(IComponentChangeService));                        Debug.Assert(!CompModSwitches.CommonDesignerServices.Enabled || changeService != null, "IComponentChangeService not found");                    }                    // Make sure that it is ok to send the onchange events                    //                    if (changeService != null) {                        oldValue = SecurityUtils.MethodInfoInvoke(GetMethodValue, invokee, (object[])null);                         try {                            changeService.OnComponentChanging(component, this);                        }                        catch (CheckoutException coEx) {                            if (coEx == CheckoutException.Canceled) {                                return;                            }                            throw coEx;                        }                    }                    try {                        try {                            SecurityUtils.MethodInfoInvoke(SetMethodValue, invokee, new object[] { value });                            OnValueChanged(invokee, EventArgs.Empty);                        }                        catch (Exception t) {                            // Give ourselves a chance to unwind properly before rethrowing the exception.                            //                            value = oldValue;                                                        // If there was a problem setting the controls property then we get:                            // ArgumentException (from properties set method)                            // ==> Becomes inner exception of TargetInvocationException                            // ==> caught here                            if (t is TargetInvocationException && t.InnerException != null) {                                // Propagate the original exception up                                throw t.InnerException;                            }                            else {                                throw t;                            }                        }                    }                    finally {                        // Now notify the change service that the change was successful.                        //                        if (changeService != null) {                            changeService.OnComponentChanged(component, this, oldValue, value);                        }                    }                }            }        }

从代码中可以看出来，只读属性直接被跳过去了。。。。。。

那么PropertyInfo有没有什么限制呢？

PropertyInfo调用的SetValue如下所示：

在微软开源的代码中可以找到其具体实现如下：

[DebuggerStepThroughAttribute]        [Diagnostics.DebuggerHidden]#if !FEATURE_CORECLR        [TargetedPatchingOptOut("Performance critical to inline across NGen image boundaries")]#endif        public override void SetValue(Object obj, Object value, Object[] index)        {            SetValue(obj,                    value,                    BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static,                     null,                     index,                     null);        }        [DebuggerStepThroughAttribute]        [Diagnostics.DebuggerHidden]        public override void SetValue(Object obj, Object value, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] index, CultureInfo culture)        {                         MethodInfo m = GetSetMethod(true);            if (m == null)                throw new ArgumentException(System.Environment.GetResourceString("Arg_SetMethNotFnd"));            Object[] args = null;            if (index != null)             {                args = new Object[index.Length + 1];                for(int i=0;i

暂时没有看到PropertyInfo调用的SetValue有什么限制
