Hey guys ive been struggeling with the same issue with generic typs and finally found the solution that gets the value --------Small code snippet of the method that does the trick ------------------

    public void printFields()
    {
        // Is the list empty
        if (this.list_.Count == 0)
        {
            //Y => Forced exit no object info
            return;
        }

        try
        {
            // Get first item from list
            T item = this.list_[0];

            // Get the type of object
            //**Type thisType = item.GetType();

            // Get array of all fields
            FieldInfo[] thisFieldInfo = item.GetType().GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

            // Loop through all fields and show its info
            for (int ix = 0; ix < thisFieldInfo.Length; ix++)
            {
                // Get Field value
                String strVal = thisFieldInfo[ix].GetValue(item).ToString();

                // Display item
                Console.WriteLine("'{0}' is a {1} and has value {2}", thisFieldInfo[ix].Name, thisFieldInfo[ix].FieldType, strVal);
            }


        }
        catch (SecurityException e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Exception: " + e.Message);
        }
    }
