How to loop through all the properties of a class?

VB version of C# given by Brannon:

Public Sub DisplayAll(ByVal Someobject As Foo)
    Dim _type As Type = Someobject.GetType()
    Dim properties() As PropertyInfo = _type.GetProperties()  'line 3
    For Each _property As PropertyInfo In properties
        Console.WriteLine("Name: " + _property.Name + ", Value: " + _property.GetValue(Someobject, Nothing))
    Next
End Sub

Using Binding flags in instead of line no.3

    Dim flags As BindingFlags = BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.Instance
    Dim properties() As PropertyInfo = _type.GetProperties(flags)

Use Reflection:

Type type = obj.GetType();
PropertyInfo[] properties = type.GetProperties();

foreach (PropertyInfo property in properties)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Name: " + property.Name + ", Value: " + property.GetValue(obj, null));
}

for Excel - what tools/reference item must be added to gain access to BindingFlags, as there is no "System.Reflection" entry in the list

Edit: You can also specify a BindingFlags value to type.GetProperties():

BindingFlags flags = BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance;
PropertyInfo[] properties = type.GetProperties(flags);

That will restrict the returned properties to public instance properties (excluding static properties, protected properties, etc).

You don't need to specify BindingFlags.GetProperty, you use that when calling type.InvokeMember() to get the value of a property.

Note that if the object you are talking about has a custom property model (such as DataRowView etc for DataTable), then you need to use TypeDescriptor; the good news is that this still works fine for regular classes (and can even be much quicker than reflection):

foreach(PropertyDescriptor prop in TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(obj)) {
    Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", prop.Name, prop.GetValue(obj));
}

This also provides easy access to things like TypeConverter for formatting:

    string fmt = prop.Converter.ConvertToString(prop.GetValue(obj));
