Accessing a Collection Through Reflection

Question

Is there a way to iterate (through foreach preferably) over a collection using reflection? I\'m iterating over the properties in an object using reflection, and when the pr

Answer 1

Just for information may be it will be of someone's help... I had a class with nested classes and collection of some other classes. I wanted to save the property values of the class as well nested classes and collection of classes. My code is as follows:

 public void LogObject(object obj, int indent)
    {
        if (obj == null) return;
        string indentString = new string(' ', indent);
        Type objType = obj.GetType();
        PropertyInfo[] properties = objType.GetProperties();

        foreach (PropertyInfo property in properties)
        {
            Type tColl = typeof(ICollection<>);
            Type t = property.PropertyType;
            string name = property.Name;


            object propValue = property.GetValue(obj, null); 
            //check for nested classes as properties
            if (property.PropertyType.Assembly == objType.Assembly)
            {
                string _result = string.Format("{0}{1}:", indentString, property.Name);
                log.Info(_result);
                LogObject(propValue, indent + 2);
            }
            else
            {
                string _result = string.Format("{0}{1}: {2}", indentString, property.Name, propValue);
                log.Info(_result);
            }

            //check for collection
            if (t.IsGenericType && tColl.IsAssignableFrom(t.GetGenericTypeDefinition()) ||
                t.GetInterfaces().Any(x => x.IsGenericType && x.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == tColl))
            {
                //var get = property.GetGetMethod();
                IEnumerable listObject = (IEnumerable)property.GetValue(obj, null);
                if (listObject != null)
                {
                    foreach (object o in listObject)
                    {
                        LogObject(o, indent + 2);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

An called this function

LogObject(obj, 0);

However, I have some structs inside my classes and I need to figure out how to get their values. Moreoevr, I have some LIst. I need to get their value as well.... I will post if I update my code.
