GetProperties() to return all properties for an interface inheritance hierarchy

Question

Assuming the following hypothetical inheritance hierarchy:

public interface IA
{
  int ID { get; set; }
}

public interface IB : IA
{
  string Name { get; se         


        

Answer 1

Responding to @douglas and @user3524983, the following should answer the OP's question:

    static public IEnumerable GetPropertiesAndInterfaceProperties(this Type type, BindingFlags bindingAttr = BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance)
    {
        if (!type.IsInterface) {
            return type.GetProperties( bindingAttr);
        }

        return type.GetInterfaces().Union(new Type[] { type }).SelectMany(i => i.GetProperties(bindingAttr)).Distinct();
    }

or, for an individual property:

    static public PropertyInfo GetPropertyOrInterfaceProperty(this Type type, string propertyName, BindingFlags bindingAttr = BindingFlags.Public|BindingFlags.Instance)
    {
        if (!type.IsInterface) {
            return type.GetProperty(propertyName, bindingAttr);
        }

        return type.GetInterfaces().Union(new Type[] { type }).Select(i => i.GetProperty( propertyName, bindingAttr)).Distinct().Where(propertyInfo => propertyInfo != null).Single();
    }

OK next time I'll debug it before posting instead of after :-)
