Constructors

	Name	Description
	CodePropertyReferenceExpression()	Initializes a new instance of the CodePropertyReferenceExpression class.
	CodePropertyReferenceExpression(CodeExpression^, String^)	Initializes a new instance of the CodePropertyReferenceExpression class using the specified target object and property name.

Properties

	Name	Description
	PropertyName	Gets or sets the name of the property to reference.
	TargetObject	Gets or sets the object that contains the property to reference.
	UserData	Gets the user-definable data for the current object.(Inherited from CodeObject.)

Methods

	Name	Description
	Equals(Object^)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.(Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize()	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.(Inherited from Object.)
	GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance.(Inherited from Object.)
	MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.(Inherited from Object.)
	ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

CodePropertyReferenceExpression can be used to represent a reference to the value of a property.

The TargetObject property specifies the object that contains the property to reference. The PropertyName property specifies the name of the property to reference.

This object does not have a property to indicate whether the reference is used in a get or set. If the property reference occurs on the left, assigned to, side of an assignment statement, then it is a set.

Examples

The following example code demonstrates use of a CodePropertyReferenceExpression to refer to a property.

C++

CodePropertyReferenceExpression^ propertyRef1 = gcnew CodePropertyReferenceExpression( gcnew CodeThisReferenceExpression,"TestProperty" );

// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:
//    this.TestProperty
