The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

.NET reflection question

Asked by l99057j in .NET

Tags: memberattributes, readonly, codememberfield, question, reflection

I'm trying to do something similar to the WinCV utility that ships with .NET.  I want to select any class and generate code that describes that class just as WinCV does in the right-hand pane.  When creating fields, I have this code...

//Fields
FieldInfo [] fields = dt.GetFields();
foreach(FieldInfo fld in fields)
{
CodeMemberField cmf = new CodeMemberField(fld.FieldType, fld.Name);
cmf.Attributes = (MemberAttributes)fld.FieldType.MemberType;
                        
if(fld.IsFamily) cmf.Attributes |= MemberAttributes.Family;
if(fld.IsFamilyAndAssembly) cmf.Attributes |= MemberAttributes.FamilyAndAssembly;
if(fld.IsFamilyOrAssembly) cmf.Attributes |= MemberAttributes.FamilyOrAssembly;
if(fld.IsPrivate) cmf.Attributes |= MemberAttributes.Private;
if(fld.IsPublic) cmf.Attributes |= MemberAttributes.Public;
if(fld.IsStatic) cmf.Attributes |= MemberAttributes.Static;

//Const?
if(fld.IsLiteral)
{
      if(!fld.IsInitOnly)
            cmf.Attributes |= MemberAttributes.Const;
      else
      {
            //readonly
      }
}


My problem is a) this is ugly.  I thought there would be an override somewhere in "CodeMemberField" that took a FieldInfo type as a parameter and set the properties for me.  I could not find such a member so I have to resort to this ugly way.  The other problem is that there is no MemberAttributes enum that describes the readonly property.  So when running my code on the System.DateTime class I'm getting

    public static System.DateTime MinValue;
    public static System.DateTime MaxValue;

when I should (according to WinCV) be getting

    public static readonly System.DateTime MinValue;
    public static readonly System.DateTime MaxValue;


Thanks in advance.
