reflection - get all fields and datatypes of a c# class iteratively -

i have huge c# classes defined many fields/variables. each variable simple datatype or list or class ....

i want dump variables , datatype iteratively going thru child classes well. there simple c# function/code this?

ps: not looking @ run time object values. extract of name , datatype enough.

you try create following setup. getdata class take single parameter assembly, want scan different types. class take classes , child classes can find, fields , create structured xml file hold data.

class getdata {     public getdata(assembly assembly)     {         var xml = new xdocument(new xelement("root"));          foreach (var type in assembly.gettypes())         {             var typeelement = new xelement("class", new xelement("name", type.name));              foreach (var field in type.getfields())             {                 typeelement.add(new xelement("field",                     new xelement("name", field.name),                     new xelement("type", field.fieldtype)));             }              xml.root.add(typeelement);         }          console.writeline(xml);          xml.save("dump.xml");     } } 

you can create test class inner class can sure work on kind of setup.

public class dbclass {     public int id;     public string name;      public class dbchildclass     {         public int childid;         public string company;     } } 

to types executing assembly, execute following lines of code.

class program {     static void main()     {         new getdata(assembly.getexecutingassembly());          console.read();     } }
