Hello William,

Assemblies contain modules, modules contain types, and types contain
members. Reflection provides objects that encapsulate assemblies, modules,
and types. You can use reflection to dynamically create an instance of a
type, bind the type to an existing object, or get the type from an existing
object. You can then invoke the type's methods or access its fields and
properties. For an example, we could use Reflection.PropertyInfo to
discover information such as the name, data type, declaring type, reflected
type, and read-only or writable status of a property, and to get or set
property values.

For details, please refer to MSDN topic "Discovering Type Information at
Run Time"

ormationatruntime.asp?frame=true

Hope it helps.

!Hi Fellow developers,
!
!What is the recommended method to display a list of all properties of an
!object at Runtime
!
!Public Function CompareObj _
!
!(ByVal NewObject As Object, ByVal SrcObject As Object) As Boolean
!
!End Function
!
!I want to be able to access all the property name and their values at
!runtime.
!
!How do I do that ?
!
!Any help is appreciated.
!
!Thank You.
