Dynamic public property generation

[funVB2005fun]

I am not quite sure what I am getting into but I would like to have a loop
that read from a flat file to create some public properties in a class. I
am going after this to try and create more general software that others
could benefit from vs hardcoding things that relate only to my processes.

example property that I would want to generate:
The idea would be to read from a file that "AGE" is needed and that it is
and Integer and then to create the property in a class. This is related to
DotNetNuke 3.x

I do know one method relates to having a class that manipulates the class
file that need to be dynamic... Any thoughts on this or successful
attempts?

Public Property Age() As Integer
Get
Return _Age
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
_Age = Value
If Not ObjectHydrated Then
ObjectHydrated = True
End If
End Set
End Property

Are you talking about a schoolclass, or about the class as we know it, what
is a very solid base for all OOP objects?

Re: Dynamic public property generation

Could you please expand on the schoolclass topic. I am not familiar with
that but am open to all possibilities.


If you are talking specifically about DNN I have a new class that is
inheriting from DotNetNuke.Enti ties.Users.User Profile


Public Class GroUserProfile
Inherits DotNetNuke.Enti ties.Users.User Profile

Full Code of class I want to auto generate properties from a flat
file. specifically so it is possible for an end user to add user
attributes without haveing to recompile and edit several class files.

Ok this is a website for dynamic execution of code in .NET that I am
working with atm.

This is a great start but having some problems with a web project vs
windows application.

Fun,

You are not the first one who is busy with this. You can be the first one
who realise this correct from a point of the end-users view.

What you try to do endless done. To call some which still exist: SQL,
JavaScript, VBScript, the first generations FoxPro's, MS-Access, Excel,
hundreds or thousands or probably even more don't exist anymore.

I do not have the idea that it is handy for somebody who knows real tools,
while the end-user don't use them. There are complete developers groups now
around those so called easy solutions/languages.

You can try to find that never really good functioning developed wheel.
However I think that it is than a long lonely route to go.

However just my thought,
