Deep Reflection in .NET

Question

I need to create the ability to drill through an objects properties like two or three deep. For instance, class A has a property reference to class B, which I need to access class C. What is the best way to do this: straight reflection, or maybe using the TypeDescriptor, or something else?

Thanks.

It's not too hard to write. I put a few classes together to deal with this so I could serialize properties of a WinForm. Take a look at this class and the related classes.
