Get all the attributes name from a class in C#

Question

I have a class to with name, c_invPrd with following code.

public  readonly string ITEM_NO                                     = "ITEM_NO";

public c_invIndPrd(DMSFW.Objects.Argument arg)
    : base (arg) {
}

public c_invIndPrd()
{

}

How can I create a List C# to put all the attributes like ITEM_NO, PRD_INDEX, PRD_CD, PRD_DESC, PRINCIPAL_IND and so on into a list by accessing c_invPrd class in following? I am using sharpdeveloper as my IDE.

This code looks very very odd - it looks like you want some private fields, but just the string ones:

var fields = typeof(c_invPrd).GetFields(
        BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public)
     .Where(f => f.FieldType == typeof(string)).ToArray();

If you want just the names:

var fields = typeof(c_invPrd).GetFields(
        BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public)
     .Where(f => f.FieldType == typeof(string)).Select(f => f.Name).ToArray();

If you want the values then you'll need an instance of the type, then use FieldInfo.GetValue:

c_invPrd obj = ...
var fields = typeof(c_invPrd).GetFields(
          BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public)
     .Where(f => f.FieldType == typeof(string))
     .Select(f => (string)f.GetValue(obj)).ToArray();

Frankly this code is just baffling. Either those things should be const (for the string) or static readonly (for the Type) - or they should be regular properties, i.e.

public int ITEM_NO {get;set;} // I'd use ItemNumber if it was me, but...
public string PRD_CD {get;set;} // I'm going to guess... ProductCode?
