Represents an interface for the runtime property chain path with read-only access.

public interface IReadOnlyPropertyPath

Extension Methods

PropertyReferencesExtensions.ContainsProperty(object, IPropertyReference)

Properties

PropertyType

Gets the type of the last property in the chain.

Type PropertyType { get; }

Property Value

Type

Methods

DependsOn(string)

Determines whether a change of the specified property on the source object can change this path's value.

bool DependsOn(string propertyName)

Parameters

propertyName string

The name of the changed property, as reported by INotifyPropertyChanged.

Returns

bool

true if the path starts with the specified property, or if it can't tell; otherwise, false. The default implementation always returns true.

Remarks

A Binding uses this to ignore change notifications for unrelated properties of its source, so they don't overwrite the text a user is typing.

GetPropertyType(object)

Gets the type of the last property in the chain, resolved against the specified source object.

Type GetPropertyType(object source)

Parameters

source object

An object the path starts from.

Returns

Type

The declared type of the last property in the chain. The default implementation returns PropertyType.

Remarks

Paths that only learn their types at runtime, such as DynamicPropertyPath, override this method to report the real property type, so a Binding can convert typed text into it.

GetValue(object)

Gets the value by calling the property chain for the specified source object.

object? GetValue(object source)

Parameters

source object

An object to retrieve value from.

Returns

object

The value by the specified property path.
