I am trying to find a way to iterate over the properties of an EF object and update the values of these properties. More specifically, I have 50 fields that are filled up to 50 dropdownlists. All 50 may or may not need to be filled.
To solve this problem, I have a repeater that will generate up to 50 DDL. The user will select values for each of them, and then click the update button. I iterate over the elements in the repeater and can count on what iteration I will be in the repeater. I also want to use this account to find out which field I need to update. For example, DDL1 = FIELD1, DDL2 = FIELD2, ....).
Here is an example of what I'm trying to do:
using (Data.Entities dataContext = new Data.Entities)
{
var efObject = dataContext.EFData.Where(c => c.ID = [SOMEID]).First();
int posCount = 0;
foreach (RepeaterItem rep1 in repeaterControl.Items)
{
DropDownList ddlControl= (DropDownList)rep1.FindControl("ddlControl");
}
}
Is there a way to dynamically create the name of the property I need to update?
