Get the value represented by PropertyGridField

Hi
Is there is a way to get the  value represented by PropertyGridField.

Thanks,

I found the solution by refection, 
there is an internal property called CurrentContextPropertyValue inside the field, call it by reflection and you will get the value associated to that field.

This is a sample code

var ss = typeof(PropertyGridField).GetProperty("CurrentContextPropertyValue", (BindingFlags)0xfff).GetValue(field,null);

Thanks,

Hello,

Reflecting member that are not in the API is not a good practice. They are defined for internal use only and sometimes they might behave inconsistently in accordance to you expectations.

Hi,

Fields are ContentControls. You can get their content, cast it to the expected type (i.e TextBox) and retrieve the current value by reading the respective property (TextBox.Text).

Hi
This can't be a perfect solution because i need the object to have the same reference to the origin one,
Also, Not all cases can be  cased into TextBox, some is DateTimePicker, some is Numeric .

Why not to provide a public property that do the same as the CurrentContextPropertyValue 

Thanks,
