Hi

I have

public class MyClassA
{
   public string ThisProperty {get;set;}

   public IList<string> GetAllPropertiesFromDerivedClass()
  {
      //needs to return One,Two and Three
      //This will be different if the derived cass is different
  }

}

public class MyClassB : MyClassA
{
   public string One {get;set;}
   public string Two {get;set;}
   public string Three {get;set;}
}

I know i could create an abstract method or virtual method and override it to hard code it (which is what i am doing at the moment), but can i do it dynamically

Any thoughts would be appriciated

Hi,

With Linq I end up for now with :

public IEnumerable<string> GetAllPropertiesFromDerivedClass()
{
   return GetType().GetProperties().Where(o => o.DeclaringType ==GetType()).Select(o => o.Name);
}

ie all propertoes declated in the object type and tkaing names only. Sometimes you may want give a brief overview in case it would be a way to achieve something for which you may have an easier option. What will you do with those property names? Also you have othe rmechanism to get that and mode (such as what does most if not all "data binding" features)

sorry badly worded quetion, I only want to get the ones which are in the Dirived Class File not all in the direived class, so if its an inherited property i want to exclude it.

(I am using reflection to get the value and process it,i have it working but don't like how i have implement it.

Hi EnenDaveyBoy,

Try this:

public IEnumerable<string> GetAllPropertiesFromDerivedClass()
{
    //needs to return One,Two and Three
    //This will be different if the derived cass is different
    var propNames = GetType().GetProperties(BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance)
                    .Select(t=>t.Name);
    return propNames;
}

Result:

Best Regards,

Rena
