C# find properties

Here's a more complete example which shows how you can get the type and value (for a particular object) of each property as well as the name.

The example also shows how to include static properties and non-public properties in the list:

using System;

using System.Reflection;

class MyClass

{

public static int MyStaticInt { get; set; }

internal int MyInt { get; set; }

public string MyString { get; set; }

public MyClass(int i, int j, string s)

{

MyStaticInt = i;

MyInt = j;

MyString = s;

}

class Test

{

static void Main()

{

MyClass mc = new MyClass(1, 2, "Hello");

Type t = typeof(MyClass);

BindingFlags bf = BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public |

BindingFlags.NonPublic;

PropertyInfo[] pia = t.GetProperties(bf);

foreach(PropertyInfo pi in pia)

{

Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1} : {2}", pi.Name, pi.PropertyType, pi.GetValue(mc, null));

}

Console.ReadKey();

}

}

The output should be:

MyStaticInt : System.Int32 : 1

MyInt : System.Int32 : 2

MyString : System.String : Hello

You can use reflection to emit properties of a particular class/type.

           PropertyInfo[] propertyInfos = typeof(YourClassName).GetProperties();
           // writes all the property names
            foreach (PropertyInfo propertyInfo in propertyInfos)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(propertyInfo.Name);
            }
Hope this helps you.
