为什么在同一个扩展方法中不能使用扩展方法?

我有一个扩展方法,它为我提供了实例中每个属性的值。对于标量值,它可以正常工作。但对于Collections,存在问题。这是我的代码:

<Extension()>
Public Function ToXml(Of T)(ByVal source As T) As XmlDocument
    Dim oXmlDocument As New XmlDocument
    oXmlDocument.AppendChild(oXmlDocument.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", Nothing))
    oXmlDocument.AppendChild(oXmlDocument.CreateElement(XmlConvert.EncodeName(source.GetType.ToString)))

    For Each Item As System.Reflection.FieldInfo In source.GetType.GetFields
        Dim oElement As XmlElement = oXmlDocument.CreateElement(XmlConvert.EncodeName(Item.MemberType.ToString))
        oElement.Attributes.Append(oXmlDocument.CreateAttribute("Name")).Value = Item.Name
        oElement.Attributes.Append(oXmlDocument.CreateAttribute("Value")).Value = Item.GetValue(source)

        oXmlDocument.DocumentElement.AppendChild(oElement)
    Next

    For Each Item As System.Reflection.PropertyInfo In source.GetType.GetProperties
        Dim oElement As XmlElement = oXmlDocument.CreateElement(XmlConvert.EncodeName(Item.MemberType.ToString))
        oElement.Attributes.Append(oXmlDocument.CreateAttribute("Name")).Value = Item.Name

        If (Not (TryCast(Item.GetValue(source, Nothing), ICollection) Is Nothing)) Then
            For Each SubItem As Object In CType(Item.GetValue(source, Nothing), ICollection)
                For Each Node As XmlNode In SubItem.ToXml().DocumentElement.SelectNodes("node()")
                    oElement.AppendChild(oElement.OwnerDocument.ImportNode(Node, True))
                Next
            Next
        Else
            oElement.Attributes.Append(oXmlDocument.CreateAttribute("Value")).Value = If(Not (Item.GetValue(source, Nothing) Is Nothing), Item.GetValue(source, Nothing).ToString, "Nothing")
        End If

        oXmlDocument.DocumentElement.AppendChild(oElement)
    Next

    Return oXmlDocument
End Function

该行

For Each Node As XmlNode In SubItem.ToXml().DocumentElement.SelectNodes("node()")

抛出错误Public member 'ToXml' on type 'MyClass' not found.

但如果我这样做

Dim instance As new MyClass
instance.ToXml()

这也有效。我的错在哪里?

在VB.NET中,扩展方法不会处理声明为Object的变量,以实现向后兼容。

尝试:

Dim instance As Object = new MyClass()
instance.ToXml()

它会失败。

因此,您ToXml无法致电SubItem,因为SubItem的类型为Object


但是,您可以像常规方法一样调用ToXml

For Each Node As XmlNode In ToXml(SubItem).DocumentElement.SelectNodes("node()")
