Access private fields

Question

Is it possible to get or set private fields?

I want to get System.Guid.c. Is there a way to access it or should I just copy the code from the strut and

Answer 1

You should try System.Reflection. Here's an example:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Reflection;

namespace AccessPrivateField
{
    class foo
    {
        public foo(string str)
        {
            this.str = str;
        }
        private string str;
        public string Get()
        {
            return this.str;
        }
    }
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            foo bar = new foo("hello");
            Console.WriteLine(bar.Get());
            typeof(foo).GetField("str", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).SetValue(bar, "changed");
            Console.WriteLine(bar.Get());
            //output:
            //hello
            //changed
        }
    }
}
