        if (!ModelState.IsValid) return View(editedDTO);
        var t = editedDTO.GetType();

     }

but get

Object does not match target type

Answer 1

You should pass the instance of TEditDTO to GetValue method not the type instance.

var Id = prop.GetValue(editedDTO);

Answer 2

Try this,

var Id = prop.GetValue(editedDTO, null);
