PropertyInfo[] elementProperties = typeInfo.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public); // Insert each property name and value into the ListView. foreach (PropertyInfo property in elementProperties) { name.Append(property.Name); propertyValue = property.GetValue(null, BindingFlags.Static, null, null, null); ListViewItem newItem = new ListViewItem(name.ToString(), 0); newItem.SubItems.Add(propertyValue.ToString()); listView1.Items.Add(newItem); name.Remove(0, name.Length); } // Create columns for the items and subitems. listView1.Columns.Add("Property", -2, System.Windows.Forms.HorizontalAlignment.Left); listView1.Columns.Add("Value", -2, System.Windows.Forms.HorizontalAlignment.Left); // Add the ListView to the control collection. this.Controls.Add(listView1); } } }
