[Solved] Print out array of objects to console [closed]

You need to use reflection. Here’s a sample:

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string obj1 = "a string";
        int obj2 = 12;
        DateTime obj3 = DateTime.Today;

        object[] obj_array = { obj1, obj2, obj3 };

        foreach (object obj in obj_array)
        {
            //Print value
            Console.WriteLine("Value: " + obj.ToString());

            //Print property names
            Console.WriteLine("Property Names:");
            foreach (PropertyInfo prop in obj.GetType().GetProperties())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(prop.Name);
            }
            Console.WriteLine();
        }
        Console.Read();
    }

EDIT: sorry you probably wanted to retrieve the property values of the object itself. In that case, here’s another sample:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        MyObject myobj = new MyObject("prop1", "prop2");
        object[] obj_array = { myobj };

        foreach (object obj in obj_array)
        {
            foreach (PropertyInfo property in obj.GetType().GetProperties())
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Property Name: " + property.Name);
                Console.WriteLine("Property Value: " + property.GetValue(obj));
            }
        }
        Console.Read();
    }
}
public class MyObject
{
    public string Property1 { get; set; }
    public string Property2 { get; set; }
    public MyObject(string p1, string p2)
    {
        Property1 = p1;
        Property2 = p2;
    }
}
