C#, access child properties from parent reference?

Question

public void GetProps(Parent p){

   // want to access lots of child properties here
   string childProp1 = p.prop1;
   bool childProp2 = p.prop2;
   bool childProp3          


        

Answer 1

If the property is defined in an intermediate class between parent and child and you don't have a reference to that intermediate class at design time then you could use reflection to get the property. But it sounds like you should be using the most relevant sub parent instead of simply parent.
