CSLA Snippets simplified

JonnyBee posted on Saturday, June 28, 2008

Hi all,

CSLA 3.5 Property snippets can be made simpler (and easier maintainable) by changing them from 
    private static PropertyInfo<string> NameProperty = RegisterProperty<string>(typeof(Project), new PropertyInfo<string>("Name"));
    public string Name
    {
      get { return GetProperty<string>(NameProperty); }
      set { SetProperty<string>(NameProperty, value); }
    }
to

private static PropertyInfo<string> NameProperty = RegisterProperty(typeof(Project), new PropertyInfo<string>("Name"));
    public string Name
    {
      get { return GetProperty(NameProperty); }
      set { SetProperty((IPropertyInfo) NameProperty, value); }
    }

Visual Studio and the Compiler will understand which type to use in Get/Set and RegisterProperty.

I have been unable to remove the generic type parameter from RegisterProperty() itself. Are you sure that works?

Also, your SetProperty() variant is actually longer, not shorter :)

But in version 3.6 you'll be able to just do

set { SetProperty(NameProperty, value); }

which is the better answer overall.
