Question

Let’s say I’ve a class myClass which has few properties, such as property1, property2, perperty3, etc. Now, I’d like to populate an array with each of those properties so that, I can access each of them through its index. Is there an automatic way of doing so?

Here’s an example from SportsStore (Pro ASPN.NET MVC/Steve Sanderson/Apress) on how to gather all the active controllers in the the ‘Assembly’.

 var controllerTypes = from t in Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetTypes()
 where typeof(IController).IsAssignableFrom(t) 
 select t; 

 foreach(Type t in controllerTypes)
    //Do something

I wonder if there is some thing like the one above I can use to collect (only) properties of a class and store them in a array, no matter each one’s type value (int, string, or custom type)

I hope I was able to express myself clearly. Otherwise I can amend the text.

Thanks for helping.

would the Type.GetProperties() method help you?
