Use reflection and a dictionary object as your items collection.

Dictionary customerProps = new Dictionary();
Customer myCustomer = new Customer(); //Or however you're getting a customer object

foreach (PropertyInfo p in typeof(Customer).GetProperties())
{
    customerProps.Add(p.Name, p.GetValue(customer, null));
}
