c# - ReflectedType of MemberExpression is the base class rather than actual class used -

so have following classes

class person {     virtual string property{get;set;} }

and

class manager : person {     [someattribute("hello")]     override string property {get;set;} }

if have member expression on type manager, ie:

property prop = propertygetter.getprop<manager>(p => p.property)

then reflectedtype of memberexpression person, rather manager. means attribute information lost. so:

var attribute = prop.getattribute<someattribute>();

then attribute null.

i'm assuming because property base class, not defined in manager, how can around this?

the issue fixed if use new keyword on property rather virtual , override.

i think has fact there no instance of type manager.

another way fix change implementation of getprop

return typeof(t).getproperty(property.name)

rather returning property

If code
