Looping through Object's properties in C Sharp

Loop to Find All Properties Info of an Object In C Sharp.. Loop to Find All Properties Info of an Object In C#. Have you ever tried to make a dynamic test page? To build and HTML element contains all the properties of a specific .Net object? Well, I encountered this problem couple of days ago and while searching Google I barely found good matches.  So I decided that for my sake, and yours, I will simply post a short explanation about how to do it, followed by a quick and simple example of how to loop though object properties in C#. First I'll provide a short explanation about Reflection : Reflection enables you to discover an object's properties, methods, events and properties values at run-time .  Reflection can give you a full mapping of an object (well, it's public data). In order to use reflection, and to loop through the object's properties, we'll first have to import the namespace: using System.Reflection; Now, lets say I have an object called U

JavaScript Looping Through Object Properties

Looping Through JSON Object Properties in JavaScript. My previous post contained a small piece of code explaining how to loop through object properties with the Reflection namespace in C# .

Let's create an object in JavaScript: var myObject = {     Name: "Elad",     LastName: "Shalom",     Age: 26,     Kids: ["Daniel"] }; This object contains 4 properties: Name (string) LastName (string) Age (int) Kids (array) Now  for the loop part: function LoopThroughProperties(obj) {     for (var propName in obj)     {         alert(propName + ": " + obj[propName]);     } } The function will receive an object and loop through all of it's properties. I'd like to take 2-4 more lines to explain a bit about the for syntax I used. Those of you who write in C# / VB / Java will find it very similar to foreach loop in JavaScript
