How to get all static properties and its values of a class using reflection

Question

I hava a class like this:

public class tbl050701_1391_Fields
{
    public static readonly string StateName = "State Name";
    public static readonly string StateCode = "State Code";
    public static readonly string AreaName = "Area Name";
    public static readonly string AreaCode = "Area Code";
    public static readonly string Dore = "Period";
    public static readonly string Year = "Year";
}

I want to write some statement that returns a Dictionary<string, string> that has these values:

Key                            Value
--------------------------------------------
"StateName"                    "State Name"
"StateCode"                    "State Code"
"AreaName"                     "Area Name"
"Dore"                         "Period"
"Year"                         "Year"

I have this code for getting one property value:

public static string GetValueUsingReflection(object obj, string propertyName)
{
    var field = obj.GetType().GetField(propertyName, BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static);
    var fieldValue = field != null ? (string)field.GetValue(null) : string.Empty;
    return fieldValue;
}

How I can get all properties and their values?

Well to start with, you need to distinguish between fields and properties . It looks like you've got fields here. So you'd want something like:

public static Dictionary<string, string> GetFieldValues(object obj)
{
    return obj.GetType()
              .GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static)
              .Where(f => f.FieldType == typeof(string))
              .ToDictionary(f => f.Name,
                            f => (string) f.GetValue(null));
}
