When I try to use this accepted answer to dynamically add columns to my DataTable, the if
condition is never true. I have tried changing the struct
to a class
and I have tried with and without the BindingFlags
on the GetProperties
. What am I missing?
public partial class mainForm : Form
{
public DataTable DeviceDataTable;
public mainForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
AttachToTable(new TestObject());
}
public void AttachToTable(params object[] data)
{
for (int i = 0; i < data.Length; i++)
{
if (data[i].GetType().GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance).Length > DeviceDataTable.Columns.Count)
foreach (PropertyInfo info in data[i].GetType().GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance))
{
DeviceDataTable.Columns.Add(info.Name, data[i].GetType());
}
}
DeviceDataTable.Rows.Add(data);
}
public struct TestObject
{
public static readonly string Porperty_One = "First property";
public static readonly string Porperty_Two = "Second property";
public static readonly string Porperty_Three = "Third property";
}
}
Your sample struct is bad because it has no properties, not even instance but only static fields. So Type.GetProperties
won't return them. This should work as intended:
public class TestObject
{
public string PorpertyOne => "First property";
public string PorpertyTwo => "Second property";
public string PorpertyThree => "Third property";
}
