Get Property Names using Reflection in C#

Sun, Dec 14, 2008

This example shows how we can get names of all properties for a specific type by using Type.GetProperties.

Example

 
PropertyInfo[] propertyInfoCollection;
propertyInfoCollection = typeof(MyTestClass).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public |
                                              BindingFlags.Static);
// sorting property
Array.Sort(propertyInfoCollection,
        delegate(PropertyInfo myPropertyInfo1, PropertyInfo myPropertyInfo2)
        { return myPropertyInfo1.Name.CompareTo(myPropertyInfo2.Name); });
 
// Displaying property names by iterating through collection
foreach (PropertyInfo property in propertyInfoCollection)
{
  Console.WriteLine(property.Name);
}
