Method: TElement GetField(TElement, string, string)

• Declared in: RT.Serialization.IClassifyFormat<TElement>
• Interface method
• Abstract

Declaration

public TElement GetField(
    TElement element,
    string fieldName,
    string declaringType
)

Summary

Returns the sub-element pertaining to the specified field.

Parameters

TElement	element	The element that represents an object.
string	fieldName	The name of the field within the object whose sub-element is sought.
string	declaringType	The assembly-qualified name of the type that declares the field. (This can be null if the field name is unique within the type of the object being deserialized.)

Returns

The sub-element for the specified field.

Remarks

Classify calls IClassifyFormat<TElement>.HasField(TElement, string, string) first for each field and only calls this method if IClassifyFormat<TElement>.HasField(TElement, string, string) returned true.

This should return the same element that was passed into IClassifyFormat<TElement>.FormatObject(IEnumerable<ObjectFieldInfo<TElement>>) for the same fieldName.
