Property hiding and reflection (C#)

Question

Declaring a property in a derived class that matches the name of a property in the base class \"hides\" it (unless it overrides it with the override keyword).

Answer 1

GetProperties is defined as all public properties of the type.

You could get their get and set methods using:

typeof(C).GetMethods()
         .Where(m => m.Name.StartsWith("set_") || m.Name.StartsWith("get_"))

Although this seems like a bad idea, compared to going down the inheritance hierarchy to get the properties.
