Key-Value Coding(KVC)机制允许通过变量名设置(set)以及获取(get)变量值。变量名只是一个字符串,但通常我们称之为Key。KVC也就是Cocoa访问NSObjects的属性的方式而不用直接访问对象的属性。
比如说你有个对象叫做Movie,有三个属性:Title,Producer,Year。
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
namespace KVC
{
public partial class Movie
{
public Movie () {}
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Producer { get; set; }
public int Year { get; set; }
}
}
可以直接通过对象Movie的属性访问到:
Movie movie = new Movie();
movie.Title = "Shrek - Forever After"; // to assign the value
var title = movie.Title; // to read the property value
使用KVC可以直接通过NSObject的方法访问到属性的字符串值:
- 设置属性的值SetValueForKey (NSObject value, NSString key)
- 读取属性的值ValueForKey(NSString key)
Movie movie = new Movie();
movie.SetValueForKey((NSString)"Shrek - Forever After",(NSString)"Title");; // to assign the value
var title = movie.ValueForKey((NSString)"Title"); // to read the property
Movie movie = new Movie();
Type sourceType =movie.GetType();
PropertyInfo info = sourceType.GetProperty("Title");
info.SetValue(movie, "Shrek - Forever After" , null); // to assign the value
var title = info.GetValue(this,null)); // to read the property value
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using MonoMac.Foundation;
namespace KVC
{
public partial class Movie : NSObject
{
public Movie () {}
[Export("title")]
public string Title { get; set; }
[Export("producer")]
public string Producer { get; set; }
[Export("year")]
public int Year { get; set; }
}
}
上面引入了MonoMac.Foundation命名空间,Movie类从NSObject类继承过来,三个属性使用Export属性修饰,这样Movie就可以满足Cocoa的KVC机制。
