Methods

CreateType(IList<DynamicProperty>, Type?, string?)

Dynamically creates a new class type with a given set of public properties.

public static Type CreateType(IList<DynamicProperty> properties, Type? parentType = null, string? typeName = null)

Parameters

properties IList<DynamicProperty>: The DynamicProperties
parentType Type: The type to inherit from, defaults to null
typeName string: optional typeName

Returns

Type: Type of the newly created class.

Examples

DynamicProperty[] props= new DynamicProperty[] { new DynamicProperty("Name", typeof(string)), new DynamicProperty("Birthday", typeof(DateTime)) };
Type type= DynamicClassFactory.CreateType(props);
dynamic dynamicClass= Activator.CreateInstance(type) as DynamicClass;
dynamicClass.Name= "Albert";
dynamicClass.Birthday= new DateTime(1879, 3, 14);
Console.WriteLine(dynamicClass);

Remarks

If a data class with an identical sequence of properties has already been created, the System.Type object for this already created class is returned. The generated classes

Note that once created, a generated class stays in memory for the lifetime of the current application. There is currently no way to unload a dynamically created class.
