How to get instances in all private fields of an object?

Question

I would like to use reflection to investigate the private fields of an object as well as get the values in those fields but I am having difficult finding the syntax for it.

For example, an object has 6 private fields, my assumption is that I could fetch their FieldInfo with something like

myObject.GetType().GetFields(BindingFlags.NonPublic)

but no dice - the call returns an array of 0.

Whats the correct syntax to access fields?

Answer 1

BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static

Answer 2

You should also add BindingFlags.Instance

myObject.GetType().GetFields(BindingFlags.NonPublic|BindingFlags.Instance)

Answer 3

You've overridden the default flags, so you need to add Instance back in...

myObject.GetType().GetFields(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance)

Answer 4

Since you want to retrieve both fields and values:

from field in myObject.GetType().GetFields(BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance)
select new
{
    Field = field,
    Value = field.GetValue(myObject)
};
