You can use Reflection to do this   from my library - this gets the names and values   public static Dictionary lt string  object gt  DictionaryFromType object atype        if  atype    null  return new Dictionary lt string  object gt         Type t   atype GetType        PropertyInfo   props   t GetProperties        Dictionary lt string  object gt  dict   new Dictionary lt string  object gt         foreach  PropertyInfo prp in props                object value   prp GetValue atype  new object               dict Add prp Name  value             return dict      This thing will not work for properties with an index - for that  it s getting unwieldy    public static Dictionary lt string  object gt  DictionaryFromType object atype        Dictionary lt string  object   gt  indexers           replace GetValue   call above with         object value   prp GetValue atype    indexers ContainsKey prp Name  indexers prp Name  new string           Also  to get only public properties   see MSDN on BindingFlags enum      replace    PropertyInfo   props   t GetProperties       with    PropertyInfo   props   t GetProperties BindingFlags Public    This works on anonymous types  too  To just get the names   public static string   PropertiesFromType object atype        if  atype    null  return new string           Type t   atype GetType        PropertyInfo   props   t GetProperties        List lt string gt  propNames   new List lt string gt         foreach  PropertyInfo prp in props                propNames Add prp Name             return propNames ToArray        And it s just about the same for just the values  or you can use   GetDictionaryFromType   Keys    or GetDictionaryFromType   Values   But that s a bit slower  I would imagine

Reflection  for an instance   obj GetType   GetProperties      for a type   typeof Foo  GetProperties      for example   class Foo       public int A  get set       public string B  get set         Foo foo   new Foo  A   1  B    abc    foreach var prop in foo GetType   GetProperties          Console WriteLine   0   1    prop Name  prop GetValue foo  null          Following feedback      To get the value of static properties  pass null as the first argument to GetValue To look at non-public properties  use  for example  GetProperties BindingFlags Public   BindingFlags NonPublic   BindingFlags Instance   which returns all public private instance properties
