I am trying to get Property Name and Value of a COM object using the below code.

But it fails.

here connection is my COM object.

foreach (PropertyInfo info in connection.GetType().GetProperties())
        {

        MyProperty property = new MyProperty();
        property.Name = info.Name;
        property.Value = info.GetValue(connection, null);
    }

Can anyone help me out?

Sure, if connection is an RCW that came from a type in an interop library that was created by tlbimp.exe. Apparently it wasn't. Easy to see in the debugger, if it just shows a __ComObject with no properties then you're done. – Hans Passant Feb 29 '12 at 13:31
Yes Hans it shows as __ComObject in debugger. – sqlnewbie Feb 29 '12 at 13:37

Do you know the type of the object? – IS4 Jul 25 '15 at 22:52
