Overloads New Method With Args - vb.net

Question

I've been build a large application that requires the need to overload the NEW method with args (Common I guess).
I have lots of properties in some classes and most if not all get overloaded in the new method. I wondered if there is a way to capture the arguments from the method and assign the values to the custom object by looking through the properties/args. All my property name within the class match the ones being passed as args in the method so matching the "name" properties should be possible???
OR a less taxing way of manually typing me.property = arg for each and every argument...
for example:
public class myClass
property arg1 as string
property arg2 as string
property arg3 as string
public sub new(arg1 as string, arg2 as string, arg3 as string)
For each arg in methodbase.getcurrentmethod.getParameters
custObj(<property name>).value = arg.value where custObj.name = arg.name
end for
end sub
end class
This isn't valid VB.net syntax is just an example of what I'm trying to achieve.

Answer 1

There is no real solution to your problem because reflection can not get a parameters value. But:
You can hack your way around this by creating an anonymous type inside
your method and taking advantage of projection initialisers. You can
then interrogate the anonymous type's properties using reflection.

The result could be something like this:
Class [MyClass]
Public Property arg1 As String
Public Property arg2 As String
Public Property arg3 As String
Public Sub New(arg1 As String, arg2 As String, arg3 As String)
Dim hack = New With { arg1, arg2, arg3}
Dim all = BindingFlags.Instance Or BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.NonPublic
Dim props = GetType([MyClass]).GetProperties(all).ToDictionary(Function(x) x.Name, Function(x) x)
For Each p As PropertyInfo In hack.GetType().GetProperties()
props(p.Name).SetValue(Me, p.GetValue(hack))
Next
End Sub
End Class
