Title
Body
I want to dynamically parse an object tree to do some custom validation. The validation is not important as such, but I want to understand the PropertyInfo class better. I will be doing something like this: public bool ValidateData(object data) { foreach (PropertyInfo propertyInfo in data.GetType().GetProperties()) { if (the property is a string) { string value = propertyInfo.GetValue(data, null); if value is not OK { return false; } } } return true; } Really the only part I care about at the moment is 'if the property is a string'. How can I find out from a PropertyInfo object what type it is? I will have to deal with basic stuff like strings, ints, doubles. But I will have to also deal with objects too, and if so I will need to traverse the object tree further down inside those objects to validate the basic data inside them, they will also have strings etc.
