Reflection, retrieve property type


    Defining classes

    public class Address
    {
        public string Steet { getset; }
        public string Apartment { getset; }
        public string City { getset; }
        public string State { getset; }
    }
    public class Car
    {
        public string Make { getset; }
        public int Year { getset; }
        public string Made { getset; }
    }
    public class Person
    {
        public string FirstName { getset; }
        public string LastName { getset; }
    }
    public class PersonalInfo
    {
        public Car MyCar { getset; }
        public Address MyAddress { getset; }
        public Person MyInfo { getset; }
    }

Here we will create an instance of PersonalInfo, from this instance we will retrieve property information.
   class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            PersonalInfo info = new PersonalInfo();
            
            Type pi = info.GetType();
            PropertyInfo[] myPropertyInfo = pi.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
 
            DisplayPropertyInfo(myPropertyInfo);
            Console.WriteLine(pi.Name);
            Console.Read();
        }
 
        public static void DisplayPropertyInfo(PropertyInfo[] myPropertyInfo)
        {
            // Display information for all properties.
            for (int i = 0; i < myPropertyInfo.Length; i++)
            {
                PropertyInfo myPropInfo = (PropertyInfo)myPropertyInfo[i];
                Console.WriteLine("The property name is {0}.", myPropInfo.Name);
                Console.WriteLine("The property type is {0}.", myPropInfo.PropertyType);
            }
        }
    }

Output:
The property name is MyCar.
The property type is ClassLibrary1.Car.
The property name is MyAddress.
The property type is ClassLibrary1.Address.
The property name is MyInfo.
The property type is ClassLibrary1.Person.
PersonalInfo

Azure DevOps Fork Repos between two Organization

  Azure DevOps Fork Repos between two Organization This weekend I embarked on a topic a bit foreign to myself, on the surface seemed a bit simple. The idea is to fork my Azure DevOps Repo to a different organization and push changes between them. Bad news DevOps doesn’t allow to fork Repos to a different organization, you have only the capability to fork to a different Projects within the same Organization. I’m pretty much sure there are so many other ways to solve this issue, but this is the one that I found to be easy to implement. Import Repo to the new Organization Remember here you have to generate a personal token to be able to import the Repo you have to be a member of the new organization as well This might take a few minutes depending on the size of your project, once its complete you will receive a confirmation email, or just refresh it after few minutes So far all looks good, you can clone the solution in your new Organization,

  How to use Formatted Values in Power Automate Flow Dynamics 365   If you have been working on Power Automate for Dynamics 365 you might have been wandering how you can access a lookup Formatted Value or Option Set formatted values. You can use the following format to access: body(‘{Action Name}’)?[‘{fieldname} @OData.Community.Display.V1. FormattedValue’] You just have to be mindful in Dynamics 365 lookup field name they do not translate to the proper field name, you might have to and an “_” as a prefix and “_value” as a postfix, I will leave that to you.
