Snooping a class

[Chinners]

Hi all, I am trying to write a bit of code in VB.NET (2008) that will look inside a class and find all the public members, e.g.

Public Class User
public Name as string
public Dob as date
public Department as integer
(etc)
End Class

Is there a way for a subroutine to accept an instance of the class as an object, and query it for all these public items. I would search with google, but I dont know what to look for :sigh: Any help, or pointers would be much appreciated!

I am fairly new VB.NET but I believe that the Reflection class can achieve this. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but inthe mean time you could try Google'in Reflection.

Anyone got a version of that in English? :) Tough reading, but I am sure it is what I need to get my head around to do what I want. Thanks.
