Reflection - get attribute name and value on property

Question

I have a class, lets call it Book with a property called Name. With that property, I have an attribute associated with it.

public class Book
{
    [Author(\"         


        

Answer 1

foreach (var p in model.GetType().GetProperties())
{
   var valueOfDisplay = 
       p.GetCustomAttributesData()
        .Any(a => a.AttributeType.Name == "DisplayNameAttribute") ? 
            p.GetCustomAttribute().DisplayName : 
            p.Name;
}

In this example I used DisplayName instead of Author because it has a field named 'DisplayName' to be shown with a value.
