I would like to retrieve readonly field value _classC
from base generic abstract class Base<A, B>
.
What I have tried
FieldInfo.GetValue must be used certainly, but I can't guess the right parameter.
Thought the instance of the derived class would be okay.
var derived = new Derived();
var baseType = typeof(Base<,>);
var classCField = baseType
.GetField("_classC", BindingFlags.NonPublic
| BindingFlags.Static
| BindingFlags.Instance
| BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy);
classCField.GetValue(derived);
The error I get
InvalidOperationException: Late bound operations cannot be performed on fields with types for which Type.ContainsGenericParameters is true.
Is that even possible?
Type definitions
public interface IBase<A, B>
where A : class
where B : class, new()
{
}
public class ClassD
{
}
public class ClassC
{
}
public abstract class Base<A, B> : IBase<A, B>
where A : class
where B : class, new()
{
private readonly ClassC _classC = new ClassC();
}
public class Derived : Base<ClassC, ClassD>
{
}
do this :
var field = typeof(Derived).BaseType.GetField("_classC", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy);
var value = field.GetValue(derived);
