Access private fields of a class using reflection

Posted by Ndebata under C# category on 4/30/2011 | Points: 40 | Views : 3533

Lets say ClassA is a class having one private member called "_Age" and objA the object of classA
Get private field value


object _value= objA.GetType().GetField("_Age", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(objA)

Change the private field value

objA.GetType().GetField("_Age", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).SetValue(objA, 20)

Hi Akii,

Sorry for the late reply
I have a class called ClassA having a private field named as _Age.

class ClassA

{

  private int _Age=15;

}

Using reflection I can get the value of _Age and modify the same for the object of ClassA, Above code mimics how to achieve this.

Thanks,
Narayan
