dotnet clr: Given a FieldInfo for a given instance variable, how can I then get
PropertyInfo for a member of that object (assuming a type)...

To illustrate:

DoReflectionTask( object theForm, string theField )
{
/// Get the field info for a field on the form object

FieldInfo afi = theForm.GetType().GetField( theField, ... );

/// Assuming this is a Control to keep illustration simple...
/// How would I then get access to the DataBindings property
/// usng the FieldInfo structure above?

///.... Is this even possible?

}

Sounds like you want FieldInfo.DeclaringType - the Type the field is a
member of.

Joe,

Actually, it looks like this will do the trick, to get the property, i.e., -

PropertyInfo aPropInfo = aFieldInfo.FieldType.GetProperty("DataBindings");

But now the paradox:

If I want to GetValue() or Invoke the Get method of the property, I need the
Object for the FieldInfo! (In my example, the TextBox object itself.)

How does one get the actual object of the type returned by GetField().

(This stuff is hard to explain!)

Thanks,
