you can use reflection and extension methods to do this.

using System.Reflection;
public static class ExtensionMethods
{
    public static bool StringPropertiesEmpty(this object value)
    {
        foreach (PropertyInfo objProp in value.GetType().GetProperties())
        {
            if (objProp.CanRead)
            {
                object val = objProp.GetValue(value, null);
                if (val.GetType() == typeof(string))
                {
                    if (val == "" || val == null)
                    {
                        return true;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}

then use it on any object with string properties

test obj = new test();
if (obj.StringPropertiesEmpty() == true)
{
    // some of these string properties are empty or null
}
