PropertyDescriptor.GetValue(Object) Method

Definition

When overridden in a derived class, gets the current value of the property on a component.

C#
public abstract object? GetValue(object? component);
C#
public abstract object GetValue(object component);

Parameters

component
Object

The component with the property for which to retrieve the value.

Returns

The value of a property for a given component.

Remarks

Typically, this method is implemented through reflection.

This method automatically calls the pre-change method, OnComponentChanging, and post-change method, OnComponentChanged, of the IComponentChangeService.

Notes to Implementers

When you override this method, it gets the current value of the property by invoking a "GetMyProperty" method that you need to implement. An exception in that method should pass through.
