Get collection of values from struct's const properties

Question

I've got a struct that looks like this:

public struct MyStruct
{
    public const string Property1 = "blah blah blah";
    public const string Property2 = "foo";
    public const string Property3 = "bar";
}

I want to programmatically retrieve a collection of MyStruct's const properties' values. So far I've tried this with no success:

var x = from d in typeof(MyStruct).GetProperties()
                    select d.GetConstantValue();

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

EDIT: Here is what eventually worked for me:

from d in typeof(MyStruct).GetFields()
select d.GetValue(new MyStruct());

Thank you Jonathan Henson and JaredPar for all your help!

Answer 1

These are fields not properties and hence you need to use the GetFields method

    var x = from d in typeof(MyStruct).GetFields()
            select d.GetRawConstantValue();

Also I believe you're looking for the method GetRawConstantValue instead of GetConstantValue

Answer 2

Here's a bit different version to get the actual array of strings:

string[] myStrings = typeof(MyStruct).GetFields()
                     .Select(a => a.GetRawConstantValue()
                     .ToString()).ToArray();
