PropertyInfo::CanRead Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets a value indicating whether the property can be read.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Implements
_PropertyInfo::CanReadIf the property does not have a get accessor, it cannot be read.
To get the CanRead property, first get the class Type. From the Type, get the PropertyInfo. From the PropertyInfo, get the CanRead value.
The following example defines two properties. The first property is readable and the CanRead property is true. The second property is not readable (there is no get accessor), and the CanRead property is false.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Reflection; // Define one readable property and one not readable. public ref class Mypropertya { private: String^ caption; public: Mypropertya() : caption( "A Default caption" ) {} property String^ Caption { String^ get() { return caption; } void set( String^ value ) { if ( caption != value ) { caption = value; } } } }; public ref class Mypropertyb { private: String^ caption; public: Mypropertyb() : caption( "B Default caption" ) {} property String^ Caption { void set( String^ value ) { if ( caption != value ) { caption = value; } } } }; int main() { Console::WriteLine( "\nReflection.PropertyInfo" ); // Define two properties. Mypropertya^ mypropertya = gcnew Mypropertya; Mypropertyb^ mypropertyb = gcnew Mypropertyb; Console::Write( "\nMypropertya->Caption = {0}", mypropertya->Caption ); // Mypropertyb.Caption cannot be read, because // there is no get accessor. // Get the type and PropertyInfo. Type^ MyTypea = Type::GetType( "Mypropertya" ); PropertyInfo^ Mypropertyinfoa = MyTypea->GetProperty( "Caption" ); Type^ MyTypeb = Type::GetType( "Mypropertyb" ); PropertyInfo^ Mypropertyinfob = MyTypeb->GetProperty( "Caption" ); // Get and display the CanRead property. Console::Write( "\nCanRead a - {0}", Mypropertyinfoa->CanRead ); Console::Write( "\nCanRead b - {0}", Mypropertyinfob->CanRead ); return 0; }
