GetProperty("pname") returns null

Question

I want to get value for a dynamic property of a dynamic object. Here is my Code..

public string ReturnProperty(object ob, string prop) {                 Type type = ob.GetType();     PropertyInfo pr = type.GetProperty(prop);      //Here pr is null..Dont know whats wrong      return pr.GetValue(ob, null).ToString(); } 

Answer 1

My guess is that either it isn't a public property, or you've got the name wrong, or it isn't a property at all (but a public field).

It's impossible to say more without knowing what the actual type is, but that should be a start.

You mention that this is a "dynamic object" but that's not really very descriptive. Bear in mind that the CLR itself doesn't know anything about the DLR - if you mean this is a type which implements IDynamicMetaObjectProvider or extends DynamicObject, then you won't be able to get at the properties with "normal" reflection like this.
