Expression Editor: Multiple Objects

[Ron]

Is it possible to give the have the Expression Editor pull properties from multiple object for the fields in the tree view?  Also, is it possible to make the Editor check if child objects of the object it is passed have properties?

Thank you very much

Hi ,

 Currently this is not possible. Possible approach will be to provide new class combining all needed properties from all classes.

Would you happen to know if there is a was to dynamically generate this composite class? I have tried using a dynamic object class and also an ExpandoObject but have not had luck with either.

Thanks Again

Correction, I was able to get an expandoObject to work.

public object MakeComposite(List<object> objects)
{
    dynamic composite = new ExpandoObject();

    ExpandoObject e = composite as ExpandoObject;

    foreach (object obj in objects)
    {
        foreach (PropertyInfo info in obj.GetType().GetProperties())
        {
            (e as IDictionary<string, object>).Add(info.Name, info.GetValue(obj,null));
        }
    }
    return composite;
}
