C#: How to get all public (both get and set) string properties of a type

Question

I am trying to make a method that will go through a list of generic objects and replace all their properties of type string which is either null or

I agree with other answers, but I prefer to refactor the search itself to be easly queried with Linq, so the query could be as follow:

        var asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
        var properties = (from prop
                              in asm.GetType()
                                .GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance)
                          where 
                            prop.PropertyType == typeof (string) && 
                            prop.CanWrite && 
                            prop.CanRead
                          select prop).ToList();
        properties.ForEach(p => Debug.WriteLine(p.Name));

I took for my example the Assembly type, which hasn't read/write string properties, but if the same code search for just read properties, the result will be:

• CodeBase
• EscapedCodeBase
• FullName
• Location
• ImageRuntimeVersion

Which are the string read-only Assembly type properties
