从原始类型创建服务引用代理类型的实例？

Question

Given a Type, say Apple , I want to create the equivalent Type that would be created if Apple were to be auto-generated as a Service Reference Proxy Type.

So, Apple has a Type of AwesomeWebService.Apple , but when Studio generates proxy classes for the AwesomeWebService service, the Type it creates is something local to the assembly that holds the proxy.

It becomes something like OtherAssembly.AwesomeWebServiceProxyReference.Apple

The trick is that I don't know until runtime what proxy Type I want to create ( Apple or otherwise). This would be too easy.

I do have an instance of the Service Reference Client, say OtherAssembly.AwesomeWebServiceProxyReference.AwesomeWebServiceSoapClient , but I have so far been unable to use this information along with the original Type to get the proxy Type that I am after. When I try I get an error that the Type could not be found in the assembly.

Activator.CreateInstance("OtherAssemblyName", "TypeNameOfOriginalType");

where "OtherAssemblyName" is gathered from proxyClientType.GetType().Assembly.FullName and "TypeNameOfOriginal" is originalType.GetType().Name

Activator.CreateInstance("OtherAssembly", "Apple");

Answer 1

Figured it out.

Easiest way was just to get the Method I was trying to create the object for (parameter), get the ParameterInfo object, and get the exact Type from that.

Type t = proxy.GetType();
MethodInfo m = t.GetMethodInfo("methodName");
ParameterInfo[] mParams = m.GetParameters();
string typeName = mParam.ParameterType.AssemblyQualifiedName;
