Here's a more complete example which shows how you can get the type and value (for a particular object) of each property as well as the name. The example also shows how to include static properties and non-public properties in the list: using System; using System.Reflection; class MyClass { public static int MyStaticInt { get; set; } internal int MyInt { get; set; } public string MyString { get; set; } public MyClass(int i int j string s) { MyStaticInt = i; MyInt = j; MyString = s; } } class Test { static void Main() { MyClass mc = new MyClass(1 2 Hello); Type t = typeof(MyClass); BindingFlags bf = BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic; PropertyInfo[] pia = t.GetProperties(bf); foreach(PropertyInfo pi in pia) { Console.WriteLine({0} : {1} : {2} pi.Name pi.PropertyType pi.GetValue(mc null)); } Console.ReadKey(); } } The output should be: MyStaticInt : System.Int32 : 1 MyInt : System.Int32 : 2 MyString : System.String : Hello

You can use reflection to emit properties of a particular class/type. PropertyInfo [] propertyInfos = typeof (YourClassName ).GetProperties(); // writes all the property names foreach ( PropertyInfo propertyInfo in propertyInfos) { Console.WriteLine(propertyInfo.Name); } Hope this helps you.
