c# - Get PropertyType.Name in reflection from Nullable type

Question

I want use reflection for get properties type. this is my code

var properties = type.GetProperties();
foreach (var propertyInfo in properties)
{
     model.ModelProperties.Add(
                               new KeyValuePair<Type, string>
                                               (propertyInfo.PropertyType.Name,
                                                propertyInfo.Name)
                              );
}

this code propertyInfo.PropertyType.Name is ok but if my property type is Nullable i get this Nullable'1 string and if write FullName if get this stirng System.Nullable1[[System.DateTime, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089]]

Answer 1

Change your code to look for nullable type, in that case take PropertyType as the first generic argument:

var propertyType = propertyInfo.PropertyType;

if (propertyType.IsGenericType &&
        propertyType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(Nullable<>))
    {
      propertyType = propertyType.GetGenericArguments()[0];
    }

model.ModelProperties.Add(new KeyValuePair<Type, string>
                        (propertyType.Name,propertyInfo.Name));
