Loop through an object's properties and get the values for those of type DateTime

Question

I have a list of objects (Cars). For each car in the list I need to loop through it and find any properties of type DateTime. If I find a property of DateTime I need to get the value and do a time conversion. For now lets just print out the DateTime property value to the console. I am having issues understanding what I need to put in the first parameter of the prop.GetValue function. Any help would be appreciated!

foreach (var car in carList) {       foreach (PropertyInfo car in car.GetType().GetProperties())     {         var type = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(prop.PropertyType) ?? prop.PropertyType;         if (type == typeof (DateTime))         {              Console.WriteLine(prop.GetValue(???, null).ToString());         }     } }

You need to use car as the first parameter:

foreach (var car in carList) {       foreach (PropertyInfo prop in car.GetType().GetProperties())     {          var type = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(prop.PropertyType) ?? prop.PropertyType;          if (type == typeof (DateTime))          {               Console.WriteLine(prop.GetValue(car, null).ToString());          }     } }
