Check if a property exists in a class

Question

I try to know if a property exist in a class, I tried this :

public static bool HasProperty(this object obj, string propertyName)
{
    return obj.GetType().

There are 2 possibilities.

You really don't have Label property.

You need to call appropriate GetProperty overload and pass the correct binding flags, e.g. BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance

If your property is not public, you will need to use BindingFlags.NonPublic or some other combination of flags which fits your use case. Read the referenced API docs to find the details.

EDIT:

ooops, just noticed you call GetProperty on typeof(MyClass). typeof(MyClass) is Type which for sure has no Label property.
