有了BinaryFormatter
你不需要知道类型;元数据包含在流中(使其更大,但是嘿!)。但是,除非您知道类型,否则您不能强制转换。通常在这种情况下,您必须使用常见的已知接口(非泛型IList
等)和反射。而且很多。
我也想不出知道要在 a 中显示的类型的巨大要求PropertyGrid
- 因为它接受object
,所以只给它BinaryFormatter
提供的东西。您在那里看到的具体问题是什么?同样,您可能想要检查IList
(non-generic) - 但不值得担心IList<T>
,因为这不是PropertyGrid
检查的内容!
你当然可以找到T
你想要的(像这样) - 并使用MakeGenericType()
和Activator.CreateInstance
- 不漂亮。
好的; 这是一种使用自定义描述符的方法,它不涉及对对象或列表类型的任何了解;如果你真的想要,可以将列表项直接扩展到属性中,所以在这个例子中你会看到 2 个假属性(“Fred”和“Wilma”)——不过,这是额外的工作;-p
