How to loop through all the properties of a class?

by

Use Reflection:

Type type = obj.GetType();
PropertyInfo[] properties = type.GetProperties();

foreach (PropertyInfo property in properties)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Name: " + property.Name + ", Value: " + property.GetValue(obj, null));
}

for Excel – what tools/reference item must be added to gain access to BindingFlags, as there is no “System.Reflection” entry in the list

Edit: You can also specify a BindingFlags value to type.GetProperties():

BindingFlags flags = BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance;
PropertyInfo[] properties = type.GetProperties(flags);

That will restrict the returned properties to public instance properties (excluding static properties, protected properties, etc).

You don’t need to specify BindingFlags.GetProperty, you use that when calling type.InvokeMember() to get the value of a property.
