C# Using Reflection to copy base class properties

by

Try this:

public void Update(MyObject o)
{
    MyObject copyObject = ...
    Type type = o.GetType();
    while (type != null)
    {
        UpdateForType(type, o, copyObject);
        type = type.BaseType;
    }
}

private static void UpdateForType(Type type, MyObject source, MyObject destination)
{
    FieldInfo[] myObjectFields = type.GetFields(
        BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);

    foreach (FieldInfo fi in myObjectFields)
    {
        fi.SetValue(destination, fi.GetValue(source));
    }
}
