AutoFixture: How to set (nested) properties manually based on a pattern
I have the following nested classes, that are coming from XSD files generated via xsd.exe.
public class MyClass
{
public AnotherClass PropertyOne;
public DateTime PropertyTwo;
public bool PropertyTwoSpecified
}
public class AnotherClass
{
public DateTime AnotherPropertyOne
public bool AnotherPropertyOneSpecified
public int AnotherPropertyTwo
public bool AnotherPropertyTwoSpecified
}
Now I would like to use AutoFixture to generate instances with synthetic data.
var fixture = new Fixture();
fixture.Customize(new AutoFakeItEasyCustomization());
var myClassFake = fixture.Create<MyClass>();
I know I can use .with to set single properties, but how can I set properties based on a specific pattern? Especially when this properties are nested in arrays?
I basically have to ensure that all properties ending with *Specified are getting set to true. Including the once nested into PropertyOne
Do I have to use my one reflection based method, e.g. an extension method (e.g. myClassFake.EnableAllProperties()) or is there an AutoFixture-way to achieve my goal?
I know I can use fixture.Register<bool>(() => true); to set all my bools to true. This solves my very specific problem, but still feels clumsy and not generally applicable. Still looking for the precise way to solve this.

That dupe hammer of mine bothers me a bit; I'd much rather like to vote to close this as a duplicate. If the other post doesn't answer your question, though, please let me know, and I'll reopen this question again.

Unfortunately the linked post does not answer my question. I am trying to set a specific set of properties (based on a pattern) to a specific value. E.g. setting all properties ending with*Specifiedtotrueor setting all (nested) properties which name isOIDto a specific value/generation algorithm. I hope its somehow clear what I am trying to achieve. Thanks in advance
