Find type of nullable properties via reflection

I examine the properties of an object via reflection and continue processing the data type of each property. Here is my (reduced) source:

private void ExamineObjec开发者_运维技巧t(object o)
{
  Type type = default(Type);
  Type propertyType = default(Type);
  PropertyInfo[] propertyInfo = null;

  type = o.GetType();

  propertyInfo = type.GetProperties(BindingFlags.GetProperty |
                                    BindingFlags.Public |
                                    BindingFlags.NonPublic |
                                    BindingFlags.Instance);
  // Loop over all properties
  for (int propertyInfoIndex = 0; propertyInfoIndex <= propertyInfo.Length - 1; propertyInfoIndex++)
  {
    propertyType = propertyInfo[propertyInfoIndex].PropertyType;
  }
}

My problem is, that I newly need to handle nullable properties, but I have no clue how to get the type of a nullable property.

possible solution:

    propertyType = propertyInfo[propertyInfoIndex].PropertyType;
    if (propertyType.IsGenericType &&
        propertyType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(Nullable<>))
    {
      propertyType = propertyType.GetGenericArguments()[0];
    }

Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(fi.FieldType) will do the work for you check below code for do the thing you want

System.Reflection.FieldInfo[] fieldsInfos = typeof(NullWeAre).GetFields();

        foreach (System.Reflection.FieldInfo fi in fieldsInfos)
        {
            if (fi.FieldType.IsGenericType
                && fi.FieldType.GetGenericTypeDefinition().Equals(typeof(Nullable<>)))
            {
                // We are dealing with a generic type that is nullable
                Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}, Type: {1}", fi.Name, Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(fi.FieldType));
            }

    }

foreach (var info in typeof(T).GetProperties())
{
  var type = info.PropertyType;
  var underlyingType = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(type);
  var returnType = underlyingType ?? type;
}

As pointed out by Yves M. it is as simple as below.

var properties = typeof(T).GetProperties();

  foreach (var prop in properties)
  {
     var propType = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(prop.PropertyType) ?? prop.PropertyType;
     var dataType = propType.Name;
  }

I am using a loop to go through all class properties to get the property type. I use the following code:

public Dictionary<string, string> GetClassFields(TEntity obj)
{
    Dictionary<string, string> dctClassFields = new Dictionary<string, string>();

    foreach (PropertyInfo property in obj.GetType().GetProperties())
    {
        if (property.PropertyType.IsGenericType && property.PropertyType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(Nullable<>) && property.PropertyType.GetGenericArguments().Length > 0)
            dctClassFields.Add(property.Name, property.PropertyType.GetGenericArguments()[0].FullName);
        else
            dctClassFields.Add(property.Name, property.PropertyType.FullName);
    }

    return dctClassFields;
}

This method is easy, fast and safe

public static class PropertyInfoExtension {
    public static bool IsNullableProperty(this PropertyInfo propertyInfo)
        => propertyInfo.PropertyType.Name.IndexOf("Nullable`", StringComparison.Ordinal) > -1;
}
