    <p><strong>EDIT AGAIN:</strong> the solution was probably different from my original question. Thanks everyone very much your great ideas. I wish I could vote for more than one answer.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> I am populating a Jquery table plugin from datatables/.net and it requires the data (Json) to be in a certain format like this;</p> <pre><code> "sEcho": 1, "iTotalRecords": 57, "iTotalDisplayRecords": 57, "aaData": [ [ "Gecko", "Firefox 1.0", "Win 98+ / OSX.2+", "1.7", "A" ], [ "Gecko", "Firefox 1.5", "Win 98+ / OSX.2+", "1.8", "A" ], ... ] } </code></pre> <p>I am recieving data from a service that is returning a collection of object. I would like one method which I can pass these collections into and it will return the appropriate string</p> <p>thanks <strong>END EDIT</strong> I would like to build a method that can receive and object that we build and will return an array List each containing the value of each object passed in. For example;</p> <p>I have a collection of 'Car' objects </p> <p>What I would like to do is</p> <pre><code>public object[] Something&lt;T&gt;(_cars) { object[] objArray = new object[_cars.Count]; foreach(Car _car in _cars ){ IList objList = new List&lt;string&gt;; objList.Add(_car.Color); objList.Add(_car.EngineSize); //etc etc objArray[i] = objList;//i'll have to use a for loop to get the i counter but you get my idea } return objArray } </code></pre> <p>my problem is how can I access the properties of the object without knowing what type of object it is?</p> <p>thanks for any help</p>

    1. COYou seem to be making the assumption that all object properties will be strings...

    2. COFor clarity: cars is a collection / IEnumerable<T>, right? And what do you expect to see in the List<string>? Are you trying to retrieve the value of all properties of the object that are of type string?

    3. COCan I ask what you need to do this for? It doesn't necessarily look like the best way to get all of the properties of each object in a collection into another collection. What do you need to do to the collection once you have it?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
