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.FieldT
cmf.Attributes = (MemberAttributes)fld.Fiel
if(fld.IsFamily) cmf.Attributes |= MemberAttributes.Family;
if(fld.IsFamilyAndAssembly
if(fld.IsFamilyOrAssembly)
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.

Thanks for your comment zrh. Final didn't do it, I did find a way to get some items to work. But after reading countless articles on the Internet it appears that the "readonly", "unsafe", and perhaps "final" modifiers are not supported by the existing C# code provider. I will have to override a few members to add that support myself.

There is no overload to fit your needs, but the above isn't ugly.
Did you try MemberAttributes.Final for readonly?
Hope that helps,
