So I have a horribly designed class that I can't change that has properties like this:
object.Color1
object.Color2
object.Color3
etc...
How can I iterate through those with a for loop. In other words, something like this:
for (int i = 0; i <= 40; i++)
{
string PropertyName = "Color" + i;
if (object.PropertyName != "")
{
// do something
}
}
Obviously this code wouldn't work but it gives you an idea of what I'm after. I have to do some processing on each property and I don't want to repeat my code 40 times. :) A loop would be perfect, I'm just not sure how to create the name of the property on the fly.
