Getting Object’s All Properties at Runtime
We often need to know a given object’s all properties at run time, for example, tracking a data container object’s properties changes across different components. Here is a simple helper class you can use to do this magic.
|
namespace Helper
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
public static class ObjPropertiesPrinter<objType>
{
public static void OutPut(objType objInstance)
{
Type myObjectType = typeof(objType);
// Get public properties via reflection
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[] propInfo =
myObjectType.GetProperties();
// Output properties
foreach (System.Reflection.PropertyInfo info in propInfo)
{
Debug.WriteLine(info.Name + ": " + info.GetValue(objInstance, null).ToString());
}
}
}
} |
Once this class is added to your project, it can be used in this way:
|
…
Helper.ObjPropertiesPrinter<MyClass>.OutPut(oneInstanceOfMyClass);
… |
Similarly, you can also get other info via reflection such as fields, events, etc.
