System.Reflection GetProperties method not returning values

Question

Can some one explain to me why the GetProperties method would not return public values if the class is setup as follows.

public class DocumentA
         


        

Answer 1

Because the way you have declared your class now is using Fields. If you want to access the fields trough reflection you should use Type.GetFields() (see Types.GetFields Method1)

I don't now which version of C# you're using but the property syntax has changed in C# 2 to the following:

public class Foo
{
  public string MyField;
  public string MyProperty {get;set;}
}

Wouldn't this help in reducing the amount of code?
