确定是否可以将反射类型强制转换为另一种反射类型

在.net(C#)中,如果您通过反射发现了两种类型,是否可以确定是否可以将其转换为另一种? (隐式和/或显式)。

我要做的是创建一个库,允许用户指定一种类型的属性映射到另一种类型的属性。如果两个属性具有匹配类型,一切都很好,但我希望能够允许它们映射隐式/显式转换可用的属性。所以,如果他们有

class from  
{
  public int IntProp{get;set;}
}

class to
{
  public long LongProp{get;set;}
  public DateTime DateTimeProp{get;set;}
}

他们可以说from.IntProp将被分配到.LongProp(作为一个隐含的演员存在)。但如果他们说它映射到DateTimeProp我就能确定没有可用的强制转换并抛出异常。

public static bool HasConversionOperator( Type from, Type to )
        {
            Func<Expression, UnaryExpression> bodyFunction = body => Expression.Convert( body, to );
            ParameterExpression inp = Expression.Parameter( from, "inp" );
            try
            {
                // If this succeeds then we can cast 'from' type to 'to' type using implicit coercion
                Expression.Lambda( bodyFunction( inp ), inp ).Compile();
                return true;
            }
            catch( InvalidOperationException )
            {
                return false;
            }
        }

这应该是隐式和显式转换(包括数字类型,类等)的技巧

这里的实现并不漂亮,但我认为它涵盖了所有情况(隐式/显式运算符,可空装箱/拆箱,基本类型转换,标准强制转换)。请注意,说转换可能成功与成功之间存在差异(这几乎不可能确定)。有关详细信息,全面的单元测试和隐式版本,请查看我的帖子here

    // there's an implicit conversion

        return true;
    }

    // for nullable types, we can simply strip off the nullability and evaluate the underyling types
    var underlyingFrom = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(from);
    var underlyingTo = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(to);

最好查看TypeConverter的内容。

直接回答你的问题...

  

如果您通过反射发现了两种类型,则可以确定是否可以将一种类型转换为另一种类型? (隐式和/或显式)

......你可以使用类似的东西:

to.GetType().IsAssignableFrom(from.GetType());

Type.IsAssignableFrom()方法可用于您的目的。与使用TypeConverters相比,这也会相当简单(即使只是稍微提高性能)。

那么,可能你的意思是鸭子打字或结构打字?有几种实现可以动态生成所需的代理。
