I have a class like this with a bunch of properties:

class ClassName
{
     string Name {get; set;}
     int Age {get; set;}
     DateTime BirthDate {get; set;}
}

I would like to print the name of the property and it's value using the value's ToString() method and the Property's name like this:

ClassName cn = new ClassName() {Name = "Mark", Age = 428, BirthData = DateTime.Now}
cn.MethodToPrint();

// Output
// Name = Mark, Age = 428, BirthDate = 12/30/2010 09:20:23 PM

Reflection is perfectly okay, in fact I think it is probably required. I'd also be neat if it could somehow work on any class through some sort of inheritance. I'm using 4.0 if that matters.
