c# - Get PropertyInfo value

Question

I'm trying to get the value from a PropertyInfo[], but I can't get it to work:

foreach (var propertyInfo in foo.GetType().GetProperties())
{
    var value = propertyInfo.GetValue(this, null);
}

Exception: Object does not match target type.

Isn't this how it's supposed to be done?

Answer 1

You're trying to get properties from this when you originally fetched the PropertyInfos from foo.GetType(). So this would be more appropriate:

var value = propertyInfo.GetValue(foo, null);

That's assuming you want to effectively get foo.SomeProperty etc.
