Loop through object array

Is there a way to loop through "myObject" to see what it contains?

Please provide C# source code.

  object myObject = new
                    {
                        LOGIN = username,
                        PASSWORD = password,
                        FIRSTNAME = BillingInfo.FirstName,
                        LASTNAME = BillingInfo.LastName,
                        ADDRESS1 = BillingInfo.Address1,
                        ADDRESS2 = BillingInfo.Address2,
                        CITY = BillingInfo.City,
                        STATE = BillingInfo.State,
                        ZIP = BillingInfo.Zip,
                        COUNTRY = BillingInfo.Country,
                        EMAIL = BillingInfo.Email,
                        DAYPHONE = BillingInfo.DayPhone,
                        EVEPHONE = BillingInfo.NightPhone,
                        SHIPTONAME = ShippingInfo.FirstName,
                        SHIPTOADDRESS1 = ShippingInfo.Address1,
                        SHIPTOADDRESS2 = ShippingInfo.Address2,
                        SHIPTOCITY = ShippingInfo.City,
                        SHIPTOSTATE = ShippingInfo.State,
                        SHIPTOZIP = ShippingInfo.Zip,
                        SHIPTPCOUNTRY = ShippingInfo.Country,
                        SHIPINSTRUCTIONS = ShippingInfo.ShipInstructions,
                        EMAILOPTIN = emailOptIn,
                        NEWMETHOD = "NEWMETHOD"
                    };

I had not looked at that.

What would be the C# equivalent.

Dim myType As Type = GetType(Person)
Dim properties As System.Reflection.PropertyInfo() = myType.GetProperties()
For Each p As System.Reflection.PropertyInfo In properties
Response.Write(p.Name)
Next

This many points is for FUNCTIONING C# code provided by the expert, as I requested.

In the meantime, my attempt to convert gets lots of errors.

Type myType = GetType(myObject);
                    System.Reflection.PropertyInfo properties = System.Reflection.PropertyInfo();
                    properties myType.GetProperties();
                    foreach(System.Reflection.PropertyInfo p in properties)
                    {
                        Response.Write(p.Name);
                    }

My eventual solution:

 foreach (object e in myObject.ToString().ToArray())
                    {
                        a += e.ToString() + "   ";
                    }
