benerdin / PropertyReflection.cs

Created May 30, 2013 14:20

Code snippet for reflecting on a class and appending properties to a StringBuilder. For System types, this will ignore appending properties (e.g. the Length property won't be appended for System.String).

	private string GetModelDescription()
	{
	var sb = new StringBuilder();
	var type = typeof(YourType);
	sb.AppendFormat("{0} ({1})\n", type.Name, type.UnderlyingSystemType.ToString());
	AppendPropertiesDescription(type, sb, " ");
	return sb.ToString();
	}

	private void AppendPropertiesDescription(Type type, StringBuilder sb, string prefix)

	private static IDocumentStore GetDocumentStore()
	{
	// Create the DocumentStore (expensive operation).
