vb.net – 返回参数中指定类型的对象的函数

如何创建一个返回特定类型对象的函数,该函数的用户在参数中指定(使用vb.net 2010)？

Private Function TryThis(ByVal t As Type) As Object
    Dim n = New t
    Return n
End Function

上面的代码不起作用,但也许它可以解释我想要实现的目标.

使用此功能,我想从数据表中保存数据传输对象.客户端只需调用此函数,指定客户端需要哪个DTO,此函数将只创建该DTO并使用反射GetType.GetProperties()填充属性.

这是一个使用泛型的非常基本的例子.方法GetPropFromDatabase只使用一个Select Case,而不是你明显地进行真正的数据库查找调用.

Public Class Form1
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim X = CreateObject(Of TestClass)()

        Trace.WriteLine(X.PropertyA)
        Trace.WriteLine(X.PropertyB)

        Me.Close()
    End Sub

    ''//Of T as New means that the object must have a constructor
    Private Function CreateObject(Of T As New)() As T
        ''//Create our object
        Dim O As New T
        ''//Get the type properties
        Dim Props = GetType(T).GetProperties()
        ''//Loop through each property
        For Each P In Props
            ''//Set the value of our return type by property name
            P.SetValue(O, GetPropFromDatabase(P.Name), Nothing)
        Next
        ''//Return our object
        Return O
    End Function
    ''//This function would obviously do a lot more
    Private Shared Function GetPropFromDatabase(ByVal name As String) As String
        Select Case name
            Case "PropertyA"
                Return "Value1"
            Case "PropertyB"
                Return "Value2"
        End Select

        Throw New ApplicationException(String.Format("Unknown database column : {0}", name))
    End Function
End Class
Public Class TestClass
    Public Property PropertyA As String
    Public Property PropertyB As String
End Class

您可能必须在GetProperties()上使用BindingFlags,具体取决于对象的设置方式.

您可能还想查看使用自定义属性.例如,如果您的数据库中有一个名为[First Name]的列,由于空间的原因,它显然不能作为对象属性存在.使用自定义属性,您可以标记某些属性,以便以特殊方式忽略或解析.下面的代码显示了上述代码的扩展版本.
