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

I see this thread is already four years old, but none the less I was unsatisfied with the answers provided. OP should note that OP is referring to Fields not Properties. To dynamically reset all fields (expansion proof) try:

/**
 * method to iterate through Vehicle class fields (dynamic..)
 * resets each field to null
 **/
public void reset(){
    try{
        Type myType = this.GetType(); //get the type handle of a specified class
        FieldInfo[] myfield = myType.GetFields(); //get the fields of the specified class
        for (int pointer = 0; pointer < myfield.Length ; pointer++){
            myfield[pointer].SetValue(this, null); //takes field from this instance and fills it with null
        }
    }
    catch(Exception e){
        Debug.Log (e.Message); //prints error message to terminal
    }
}

Note that GetFields() only has access to public fields for obvious reasons.
