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

I do not think it is possible without traversing the inheritance hierarchy. It does not have to be too much code, though:

    public static IEnumerable GetAllProperties(Type t)
    {
        while (t != typeof(object))
        {
            foreach (var prop in t.GetProperties(BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance))
                yield return prop;
            t = t.BaseType;
        }
    }

Of course, if you know a common basetype you can stop at, instead of object, it will be more efficient. Also; it will take some time to do the reflection, so cache the result. After all, the type information won't change during execution.
