get full 'path' of nested class object?

Kunjahamed P

Is it possible to get the full 'path' nested class object

ex:

public class Member
{
public string Name;
public Address Address;
}
public class Address
{
public string Line1;
public string Line2;
public string Line3;
}

Imagine I have an instance of this class named m. Is it possible to get the full path as "Member.Address.Line1" (as string), by any methods, just by passing somehow m.Address.Line1?

public static string GetClassDetails(Type t, ref IList sList, string str = null )
{
if (sList is null) sList = new List();
if (str is null) str = t.Name;
foreach (var propertyInfo in t.GetProperties())
{
str = $"{str}.{propertyInfo.Name}";
if (propertyInfo.PropertyType.IsClass)
str = $"{str}.{GetClassDetails(propertyInfo.PropertyType, ref sList, str)}";
sList.Add(str);
str = "";
}
return str;
}
Add this method in your program
So you can use it like below
Type cType = typeof(Member);
IList sList = null;
var result = GetClassDetails(cType, ref sList);
It will return all the details in result variable

Please accept this ans if it is helpful for you

hi

Create the object of Member and call through the object

Member m = new Member();
m. .Address.Line1 = "some ste";
