System.Reflection.PropertyInfo.SetValue () calls the default event handler for the button

So I'm not really sure why this is happening, but I'm running some DataRows where I have the name, property, and value of the control that I want to set. Everything works fine except when I set the TEXT property of the button. For some reason, the click event gets called ...

Here is the code I have:

string controlName, value, property;
Control currentControl = null;
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo propertyInfo = null;

// run through all rows in the table and set the property
foreach (DataRow r in languageDataset.Tables[_parentForm.Name].Rows)
{
  controlName = r["ControlName"].ToString().ToUpper();
  value = r["Value"].ToString();
  property = r["Property"].ToString();

  // check all controls on the form
  foreach (Control c in formControls)
  {
    // only change it if its the right control
    if (c.Name.ToUpper() == controlName)
    {
      propertyInfo = c.GetType().GetProperty(property);

      if (propertyInfo != null)
        propertyInfo.SetValue(c, value, null);  ******Calls Event Handler?!?!******
      //

      currentControl = c;
      break;
    }
  }
}

      

So why in the world could it call an event handler when setting a value? Here's what I am setting with what is causing this:

<SnappletChangePassword>  
  <ControlName>buttonAcceptPassword</ControlName>
  <Property>Text</Property>  
  <Value>Accept</Value>
</SnappletChangePassword>

I cannot reproduce this with a simple short but complete program:

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Windows.Forms;

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        Button goButton = new Button { 
            Text = "Go!",
            Location = new Point(5, 5)
        };

        Button targetButton = new Button {
            Text = "Target",
            Location = new Point(5, 50)
        };
        goButton.Click += (sender, args) => SetProperty(targetButton, "Text", "Changed");
        targetButton.Click += (sender, args) => MessageBox.Show("Target clicked!");

        Form f = new Form { Width = 200, Height = 120,
                Controls = { goButton, targetButton }
        };
        Application.Run(f);
    }

    private static void SetProperty(object target, string propertyName, object value)
    {
        PropertyInfo property = target.GetType().GetProperty(propertyName);
        property.SetValue(target, value, null);
    }
}

      



Can you find a similar program that demonstrates this?

Unfortunately I was unable to reproduce it either. I'm not sure what caused this, but all I did to fix it was to remove the button and put it back there.

not sure what it was, but thanks for the code.



You did not write that you are in .Net2.0?
