Comparer les propriétés de deux objets pour trouver des différences ?

Question

J'ai deux objets du même type, et je veux parcourir en boucle les propriétés publiques de chacun d'entre eux et alerter l'utilisateur sur les propriétés qui ne correspondent pas.

Est-il possible de le faire sans connaître les propriétés de l'objet ?

Answer 1

Oui, avec la réflexion - en supposant que chaque type de propriété implémente Equals de manière appropriée. Une alternative serait d'utiliser ReflectiveEquals récursivement pour tous les types sauf certains connus, mais cela devient délicat.

public bool ReflectiveEquals(object first, object second)
{
    if (first == null && second == null)
    {
        return true;
    }
    if (first == null || second == null)
    {
        return false;
    }
    Type firstType = first.GetType();
    if (second.GetType() != firstType)
    {
        return false; // Or throw an exception
    }
    // This will only use public properties. Is that enough?
    foreach (PropertyInfo propertyInfo in firstType.GetProperties())
    {
        if (propertyInfo.CanRead)
        {
            object firstValue = propertyInfo.GetValue(first, null);
            object secondValue = propertyInfo.GetValue(second, null);
            if (!object.Equals(firstValue, secondValue))
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
    return true;
}

Answer 2

Bien sûr, vous pouvez le faire avec la réflexion. Voici le code pour récupérer les propriétés d'un type donné.

var info = typeof(SomeType).GetProperties();

Si vous pouvez donner plus d'informations sur ce que vous comparez à propos des propriétés, nous pourrons établir un algorithme de différenciation de base. Ce code pour l'intstance diffère sur les noms

public bool AreDifferent(Type t1, Type t2) {
  var list1 = t1.GetProperties().OrderBy(x => x.Name).Select(x => x.Name);
  var list2 = t2.GetProperties().OrderBy(x => x.Name).Select(x => x.Name);
  return list1.SequenceEqual(list2);
}

Je sais que c'est probablement exagéré, mais voici la classe ObjectComparer que j'utilise à cette fin :

    /// we will cast both objects down to the base Type T to ensure the property comparison is only 
    /// completed on COMMON properties.

Answer 4

Le vrai problème : comment obtenir la différence entre deux ensembles ?

La méthode la plus rapide que j'ai trouvée consiste à convertir d'abord les ensembles en dictionnaires, puis à les différencier. Voici une approche générique :

static IEnumerable<T> DictionaryDiff<K, T>(Dictionary<K, T> d1, Dictionary<K, T> d2)
{
    return from x in d1 where !d2.ContainsKey(x.Key) select x.Value;
}

Vous pouvez alors faire quelque chose comme ceci :

static public IEnumerable<PropertyInfo> PropertyDiff(Type t1, Type t2)
{
    var d1 = t1.GetProperties().ToDictionary(x => x.Name);
    var d2 = t2.GetProperties().ToDictionary(x => x.Name);
    return DictionaryDiff(d1, d2);
}

Answer 5

Oui. Utiliser Réflexion . Avec Reflection, vous pouvez faire des choses comme :

//given object of some type
object myObjectFromSomewhere;
Type myObjOriginalType = myObjectFromSomewhere.GetType();
PropertyInfo[] myProps = myObjOriginalType.GetProperties();

Vous pouvez ensuite utiliser les classes PropertyInfo qui en résultent pour comparer toutes sortes de choses.
