Question

I know I can do this

foreach (PropertyInfo property in myobject.GetType().GetProperties()) {     if (property.DeclaringType.ToString() == myobject.GetType().ToString())     {          // only have my object properties here          // and not parent of my object properties     } } 

But how can I just get the properties of myobject and not those of the parent as well? ie not have to do that extra if statement.

edited for answer, (Thanks @Greg Beech) This worked:-

foreach (PropertyInfo property in               myobject.GetType().GetProperties                  (BindingFlags.Public |                    BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly |                    BindingFlags.Instance)) {     // only properties of my object not parent of myobject }

Answer 1

Check out BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly and pass that to GetProperties (you’ll probably want to combine it with BindingFlags.Public and BindingFlags.Instance at least).
