Get C# Property Values for multiple objects

Question

I have couple of domain objects something like:

public class Person()
{
public int age { get; set; }
public string city{ get; set; }  
}

public class Company()
    {
    public string name{ get; set; }
    public string address{ get; set; }  
    }

I have another class which calls the MyMethod as mentioned below.

public class CallTest()
{
 Person p= new Person{age=10,city="dd"};
 Company c= new Company{name="mynae",address="myaddress"};
 MyMethod(p);
 MyMethod(c);
}

mi.Name gives me the property name. But how do I get the property value?

public class MyMethod(object obj)
{
    Type t = obj.GetType();
    PropertyInfo prop = t.GetProperty("Items");
    foreach (MemberInfo mi in t.GetMembers())
            {
                    if (mi.MemberType == MemberTypes.Property)
                    {
                       var x = mi.Name;
                    }
                }
}

You need to cast MemberInfo to PropertyInfo to get it's value :

.....
if (mi.MemberType == MemberTypes.Property)
{
    var x = mi.Name;
    var value = ((PropertyInfo) mi).GetValue(obj);
}
.....

To get the value of property obj.Items you can use the following code

public class MyMethod(object obj)
{
    Type t = obj.GetType();
    PropertyInfo prop = t.GetProperty("Items");
    var x = prop.GetValue(obj, null);
}

It doesn't work, because we have to get value of the each property. When i tried your approach it throws null exception.
