ReflectionWays way = ReflectionWays::Auto
)F#
static member TrySetField :
instance : Object *

(* Defaults:
let _way = defaultArg way ReflectionWays.Auto
*)
-> bool Parameters
- instance Object
- An instance whose field is about to be set.
- fieldName String
- The name of the field to be set.
- value Object
- The value to set.
- way ReflectionWays (Optional)
- The preferred reflection way. TypeDescriptor way is not applicable for fields. This parameter is optional.
Default value: Auto.
Return Value
Boolean, if the field could be set; , if a field with name fieldName could not be found.
Remarks
fieldName can refer public and non-public fields.
If you already have a FieldInfo instance use the SetField(Object, FieldInfo, Object, ReflectionWays) method for better performance.
If way is Auto, then the DynamicDelegate way will be used.
