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 can have an extension method to get any private field of any type:

public static T GetFieldValue(this object obj, string name) {
    var field = obj.GetType().GetField(name, BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
    return (T)field?.GetValue(obj);
}

And then access a private field of an arbitrary type:

Guid id = Guid.NewGuid();
Int16 c = id.GetFieldValue("_c");
