Raise an event when Property Changed using Reflection

Question

I am working in C# and I have an object which I can only access using Reflection (for some personal reasons). So, when I need to set some value to one of its properties I do as below:

System.Reflection.PropertyInfo property = this.Parent.GetType().GetProperty("SomeProperty");
object someValue = new object(); // Just for example
property.SetValue(this.Parent, someValue, null);

And, to get its value I use the method GetValue.

My question is: Is there a way to fire an event when the property changes using Reflection?

Does this class implement `INotifyPropertyChanged`? Calling SetValue should use the properties setter. — cadrell0, Jun 26 '12 at 15:15
@Dante, did you find a solution for this ? I'm trying to trigger a notification event when Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture value is changed which is similar to your question — Kira, Aug 24 '15 at 08:59

Not unless the property setter itself raises it, no. There's nothing "watching" for all properties changing, and raising events when they do.
