C# Function to set properties and fields of NGUI components

[FWCorey]

Here is a method I have in my Utilities toolbelt. I use it from MonoBehaviours in external dll files to access properties and fields of NGUI widgets.

1. public static void GenericValueSet(object targetObject, string propName, object value)
2. {
3.         Type objectType = targetObject.GetType();
4.         PropertyInfo info = objectType.GetProperty(propName);
5.         if (info != null && info.CanWrite)
6.         {
7.                 Debug.Log("Setting property " + propName + " to " + value.ToString());
8.                 info.SetValue(targetObject, value, null);
9.         }
10.         FieldInfo finfo = objectType.GetField(propName);
11.         if (finfo != null && finfo.IsPublic)
12.         {
13.                 Debug.Log("Setting public field " + propName + " to " + value.ToString());
14.                 finfo.SetValue(targetObject, value);
15.         }
16. }

Feel free to remove the debug messages and shorten variable names, they are there for troubleshooting purposes when first getting used to using the method. I tried to make it as easy to read as possible.
