Methods

Checks whether a value can be assigned to the property without conversion.

public static bool CanAssignValue(this PropertyInfo property, object? value)

property PropertyInfo: The property.
value object: The value to check. Null is assignable to reference types and nullable value types.

Checks whether the property type is a nullable value type, such as int?.

public static bool IsNullable(this PropertyInfo property)

Converts a value to the property type and sets it on an instance.

public static bool TrySetConvertedValue(this PropertyInfo property, object? instance, object? value)

property PropertyInfo: The property to set.
instance object: The instance that owns the property, or null for a static property.
value object: The value to convert and set.

typeof(Order).GetProperty("Quantity")!.TrySetConvertedValue(order, "42"); // order.Quantity == 42

Conversion follows TryConvertTo<T>(object?, out T?). Null is set only on properties that accept null.
