Get Non-Inherited Properties

Question

I'm trying to read all of the properties of a given object, reading in only those that are declared on the object's type, excluding those that are inherited. IE:

class Parent {    public string A { get; set; } }  class Child : Parent {    public string B { get; set; } } 

And so I want to only get B back. Reading the docs, I assumed below was what I needed, but that actually returned nothing at all.

var names = InstanceOfChild.GetType().GetProperties(BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly).Select(pi => pi.Name).ToList(); 

Answer 1

Just need a couple other BindingFlags

var names = InstanceOfChild.GetType().GetProperties(    BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly |    BindingFlags.Public |      BindingFlags.Instance).Select(pi => pi.Name).ToList(); 

Answer 2

Try this:

var names = InstanceOfChild.GetType().GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly).Select(pi => pi.Name).ToList(); 

I added the BidningFlags.Instance and BindingFlags.Public to the search parameters which according to the MSDN documentation respectfully:

Specifies that instance members are to be included in the search.

and

Specifies that public members are to be included in the search.
