Type.GetProperties() missing in Xamarin PCL

Question

In Xamarin PCL, I\'m trying to get the System.Reflection.PropertyInfo of a class I\'ve written so that I can access its properties by their string name to get/set, and Type.

Answer 1

It's an extension, so you need to put

using System.Reflection;

at the top. Then it's available:

        TypeInfo typeInfo = this.GetType().GetTypeInfo();
        foreach (PropertyInfo propInfo in typeInfo.DeclaredProperties)

Answer 2

You can also try

using System.Reflection; 

Type t = typeof(YOURTYPE);
var properties = t.GetTypeInfo().DeclaredProperties

Answer 3

I have just run into this, pretty sure the answer is to use:

Type.GetRuntimeProperties
