You have to use System.Reflection namespace to execute the program successfully.

This program gives you Property Name and Value of any Generic Class

You can check this code fiddle on C# Online Rexter Tool Compiler at

using System;
using System.Reflection;

namespace GenericPropertyExample
{
    //Declaring a Sample Class 
    public class class1
    {
        public string prop1 { get; set; }
        public string prop2 { get; set; }

    }
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Creating Class Object
            class1 objClass1 = new class1 { prop1 = "value1", prop2 = "value2" };

            //Passing Class Object to GenericPropertyFinder Class
            GenericPropertyFinder objGenericPropertyFinder = new GenericPropertyFinder();
            objGenericPropertyFinder.PrintTModelPropertyAndValue(objClass1);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        //Declaring a Generic Handler Class which will actually give Property Name,Value for any given class.
        public class GenericPropertyFinder where TModel : class
        {
            public void PrintTModelPropertyAndValue(TModel tmodelObj)
            {
                //Getting Type of Generic Class Model
                Type tModelType = tmodelObj.GetType();

                //We will be defining a PropertyInfo Object which contains details about the class property 
                PropertyInfo[] arrayPropertyInfos = tModelType.GetProperties();

                //Now we will loop in all properties one by one to get value
                foreach (PropertyInfo property in arrayPropertyInfos)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Name of Property is\t:\t" + property.Name);
                    Console.WriteLine("Value of Property is\t:\t" + property.GetValue(tmodelObj).ToString());
                    Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
