Inheritance

Namespace: SuperOffice.Util

Assembly: SoCore.dll

Syntax

public static class ObjectExtensions : Object

Methods

AssignByReflection<T>(T, T)

Copies all public writable & public properties from the source-instance to the provided target instance. This operation is applied recursively for all non-primitive types, meaning that the two instances should be 100% independent and unable to mutate each others members. Fields and private members are not copied or assigned. If the type depends on private state to function, the copy may not work as expected.

Declaration

public static void AssignByReflection<T>(this T source, T destination)
    where T : new()

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
T	source	Source instance
T	destination	Targetinstance

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	Type of object whose properties we want to copy.

GraphCopy<T>(T)

Creates a copy of the provided object-graph by copying all public properties of the provided instance. This operation is applied recursively for all non-primitive types, meaning that the resulting instance should be 100% independent from the instance provided and that the two instances should be unable to mutate each others members. Fields and private members are not copied or assigned. If the type depends on private state to function, the copy may not work as expected.

Declaration

public static T GraphCopy<T>(this T source)
    where T : new()

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
T	source	Source instance

Returns

Type	Description
T	A 100% independent copy.

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T	Type of object whose properties we want to copy.
