I'm in need of a way to loop through the fields of an object including the fields that are fields from a related entity. I also need this loop to include custom fields that I have created. Is this possible? The reason I'm doing this is to dynamically generate a spread sheet of data about an entity and need all the fields/properties.

What if my entity is a subtype of another entity? Would I then be able to loop through all the fields of the two entities?

I think you should use reflection. and use the Type.GetProperties Method

It should look like this:

Type MyType =Type.GetType("MyClass"); 
PropertyInfo[] propInfoArray = MyType.GetProperties();

Thanks for the suggestion. I used this and it worked great.
