测试System.Collections.Generic.List类型的属性(T)

我需要能够判断属性是否属于List(T) 但我目前无法。如果我做了

TypeOf (UpdateTo.GetType.GetProperty(node.Name)) Is System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Object)

我收到以下错误

  

TypeOf(UpdateTo.GetType.GetProperty(node.Name))是   System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Object)类型的表达式   'System.Reflection.PropertyInfo'永远不能是类型   'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Object)'。

If xmlRequestNode IsNot Nothing Then

                'if there is at least one property to update
                If xmlRequestNode.ChildNodes.Count > 0 Then

                    'loop through each property that needs setting
                    For Each node As XmlNode In xmlRequestNode.ChildNodes

                        Try

                            'TODO: We do not want to set lists of objects. Currently we have issues where it tries to set the whole object instead of 
                            'going into the object and set each property. 
                            If UpdateTo.GetType.GetProperty(node.Name).GetType() IsNot GetType(System.Collections.Generic.List(Of Object)) Then

                                'and set it to the equivalent property on the user group model that was passed in (we don't use the node value as it would need casting and could be an object)
                                UpdateTo.GetType.GetProperty(node.Name).SetValue(UpdateTo, UpdateFrom.GetType.GetProperty(node.Name).GetValue(UpdateFrom, Nothing), Nothing)

                            End If

                        Catch ex As Exception

                            'and send details of the problem
                            Return "Could not find or set a property called " & node.Name

                        End Try

                    Next

                Else

                    'and send details of the problem
                    Return "No updates were requested"

                End If

            Else

                'and send details of the problem
                Return "No object to update from was supplied"

            End If

首先,UpdateTo.GetType.GetProperty(node.Name).GetType()始终返回PropertyInfo。我猜你的意思是UpdateTo.GetType.GetProperty(node.Name).GetPropertyType()

其次,List(of T)不是一种类型。 List(of String)是一种类型,但不是List(of Object)的子类。没有简单的方法可以知道给定的类型是否是某种List(of T)。也许您应该只测试属性的类型是否实现IList
