How to iterate through a C# object's properties and update the corresponding property on anothe-CodePudding

I have to objects of the same type, one source and one destination. What I'm attempting to do is iterate through the source object properties, and if it has a value, update the corresponding property on the second. I think I have the first part:

foreach (PropertyInfo prop in object1.GetType().GetProperties())
{ 
     var val = property.GetValue(object1)
     if (val != null)
     {
         --code to update object2 current prop
     }
}

I figure that there must be a way to directly reference the property on object2 without having to iterate through and compare each name and type. Hope so anyway.

CodePudding user response：

The function you're looking for is SetValue, like so:

prop.SetValue(object2, val);
