copied!<p>Well, Tim S. gave you a pretty solid answer.</p> <p>However, if those <code>various variables</code> you mentioned are fields and not properties, it won't work. You could just change it to <code>GetFields</code> instead of <code>GetProperties</code> (and GetValue wouldn't need the second <code>null</code> parameter)</p> <p>Here's another example which would work with fields (using linq, a bit shorter):</p> <pre><code>class A { public string Field1; public string Field2; public string Field3; } static void Main(string[] args) { A myA = new A() { Field1 = "rofl", Field2 = "lol", Field3 = "omg" }; var obj = (from prop in typeof(A).GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance) select prop.GetValue(myA)).ToArray(); Debug.Assert(obj[0] == "rofl"); Debug.Assert(obj[1] == "lol"); Debug.Assert(obj[2] == "omg"); } </code></pre> <p>If you'd like it to work with properties, just replace the linq with this:</p> <pre><code>var obj2 = (from prop in typeof(A).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance) select prop.GetValue(myA,null)).ToArray(); </code></pre> <p>I typed <code>var</code> to be short but <code>obj</code> and <code>obj2</code> are of type <code>Object[]</code></p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>As specified by <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kyaxdd3x%28v=vs.110%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">MSDN</a>, </p> <blockquote> <p>The GetProperties method does not return properties in a particular order, such as alphabetical or declaration order.</p> </blockquote> <p>So if you want to keep the order, you could create an <code>Attribute</code> on the field/property which could keep this information. See below:</p> <pre><code>class OrderAttribute : Attribute { public int Order { get; private set; } public OrderAttribute(int order) { this.Order = order; } } class A { public string FieldWithoutOrder; [Order(3)] public string Field1; [Order(2)] public string Field2; [Order(1)] public string Field3; } static void Main(string[] args) { A myA = new A() { Field1 = "rofl", Field2 = "lol", Field3 = "omg", FieldWithoutOrder = "anarchy" }; var obj = (from prop in typeof(A).GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance) orderby prop.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(OrderAttribute),true).Select(att=>((OrderAttribute)att).Order).DefaultIfEmpty(Int32.MaxValue).First() select prop.GetValue(myA) ).ToArray(); var obj2 = (from prop in typeof(A).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance) select prop.GetValue(myA,null)).ToArray(); Debug.Assert(obj[0] == "omg"); //Field3 Debug.Assert(obj[1] == "lol"); //Field2 Debug.Assert(obj[2] == "rofl"); //Field1 Debug.Assert(obj[3] == "anarchy"); //FieldWithoutOrder } </code></pre> <p>The <code>DefaultIfEmpty</code> specifies a value in case the field doesn't have the <code>Order</code> Attribute.</p> <p>This way it'll be easy for you to maintain (if you need to change the order of the fields, just change in the attribute)</p> <p>I didn't do it for <code>obj2</code> but you can paste the same <code>orderby</code> statement and it'll work.</p> <p>Hope it helps.</p>
