是否可以向 ExpandoObject 实例的生成成员添加属性?
我正在尝试使用 ExpandoObject 作为 PropertyGrid 的 SelectedObject。我知道如何将我想要的属性添加到 ExpandoObject:
public dynamic MakePropertyObject()
{
dynamic expando = new ExpandoObject();
var dictionary = expando as IDictionary<string, object>;
foreach(MyClass m in PropertiesINeedToAdd)
dictionary[m.Name] = m.Value;
return expando;
}
此代码工作正常 - 调试器按预期显示 expando
属性的名称和值。
但是,当我将 MakePropertyObject()
的返回值设置为其 SelectedObject
属性时,PropertyGrid 中没有显示任何生成的属性。我假设(可能是错误的)这是因为 ExpandoObject
的属性没有任何 DisplayNameAttribute
、DescriptionAttribute
或任何其他属性用于控制属性在 PropertyGrid
中显示方式的属性。
我已经阅读了一些内容并进行了一些谷歌搜索,但我不知道是否有一种方法可以使用自定义属性来装饰 ExpandoObject
的生成属性。有谁知道如何做到这一点,或者有更好的方法在 PropertyGrid
中显示 ExpandoObject
吗?
解决方案:
@Stephen Cleary 提供的答案是正确且有帮助的(谢谢,Stephen)。对于其他有同样问题的人来说,实现 ICustomTypeDescriptor
对我来说非常有效。
附带说明一下,实现 ICustomTypeDescriptor
的对象为其自身提供属性和事件描述符,而不是为另一个对象。我认为描述符和描述的内容一开始应该是通过属性或其他东西链接起来的——对象应该描述它自己的类型,这对我来说似乎令人困惑和多余,但这确实是 PropertyGrid
的使用方式ICustomTypeDescriptor
接口。
I'm trying to use an ExpandoObject as the SelectedObject of a PropertyGrid. I know how to add the properties I want to the ExpandoObject:
public dynamic MakePropertyObject()
{
dynamic expando = new ExpandoObject();
var dictionary = expando as IDictionary<string, object>;
foreach(MyClass m in PropertiesINeedToAdd)
dictionary[m.Name] = m.Value;
return expando;
}
This code's working fine- the debugger shows the names and values of expando
's properties as expected.
However, none of the generated properties is showing up in the PropertyGrid when I set the return value of MakePropertyObject()
to its SelectedObject
property. I assume (perhaps falsely) that this is because the ExpandoObject
's properties don't have any DisplayNameAttribute
, DescriptionAttribute
, or any of the other attributes used to control how properties are displayed in a PropertyGrid
.
I've done some reading and some Googling, and I can't figure out if there's a way to decorate the generated properties of an ExpandoObject
with custom attributes. Does anyone know how this can be done, or of a better way to show an ExpandoObject
in a PropertyGrid
?
SOLUTION:
The answer provided by @Stephen Cleary was correct and helpful (thanks, Stephen). For others with the same problem, implementing ICustomTypeDescriptor
worked perfectly for me.
As a side note, the object that implements ICustomTypeDescriptor
provides the property and event descriptors for itself, not for another object. I thought the descriptor and the described were supposed to be linked by an attribute or something at first- it seemed confusing and redundant to me that an object should describe its own type, but that's indeed how PropertyGrid
s use the ICustomTypeDescriptor
interface.

问题实际上是反射在动态类型上无法按预期工作。
PropertyGrid
使用反射来检查其对象的属性,而ExpandoObject
没有任何(静态)属性。您可以实现
ICustomTypeDescriptor
“劫持”反射并查询 ExpandoObject 的(动态)属性。 这篇博文将是一个很好的起点。The problem is actually that reflection doesn't work as expected on dynamic types.
PropertyGrid
uses reflection to examine its object's properties, andExpandoObject
doesn't have any (static) properties.You can implement
ICustomTypeDescriptor
to "hijack" the reflection and query the (dynamic) properties of theExpandoObject
. The code forDynamicTypeDescriptorWrapper
in this blog post would be a good starting point.
