AmbiguousMatchException when getting property of a contro through reflectionl...

[G.Ashok]

Hello,

The Type.GetProperty() method is throwning "AmbiguousMatchException"
when getting value of control class through reflection.


The exception occurs under the following cases.


1. The class is derived from other class
2. Any of the parent class property is either overridden or shadowed in the
derived class
3. and trying to get the property value through reflection of the derived
class.



Which set of BindingFlags should be used in this case ?


Any help on this, is greatly appreciated


Regards,
....Ashok

Try with BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly (IIRC) to get only members declared in
the derived class, not in the base(s) class(es).

Dear Carlos,

Thanks for the suggetion. I already tried it. infact almost every possble
combinations of the BindingFlags but failed to get it. Is there any bug in
CLR etc.?

Hello,

The Type.GetProperty() method is throwning "AmbiguousMatchException"
when getting value of control class through reflection.

1. The class is derived from other class
2. Any of the parent class property is either overridden or shadowed in the

Could you show us some code that gives this problem? When I construct a
test harness doing what you say, it works fine for me.
