Are you looking for FieldInfo in System.Reflection?<br />

<pre><code id="code-287007">    Type yourObject = typeof(yourObject); 
    foreach (FieldInfo fi in yourObject.GetFields())
    {
        //access fi properties/methods here

Are you looking for FieldInfo in System.Reflection?




    Type yourObject = typeof(yourObject); 
    foreach (FieldInfo fi in yourObject.GetFields())
    {
        //access fi properties/methods here
    }

Thanks for your response. I am actually looking ffor a way to get the descriptions of the types &nbsp;and parameters from an assembly. If &nbsp;you look at the 'string' type in reflector the description says 'Represents text as a series of Unicode characters'. The Compare member of string type has a description which says 'Compares two specified String objects.' &nbsp;Reflector is retrieving these descriptions from somewhere. My question is &nbsp;from where?

How to get type and/or member descriptions through reflection

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
