Is there a function that returns the class const names

Question

Is there any way to read the const names into a list?

Example Code

public static class Cars
{
    public const int Length= 10;
    public const int Height= 15;
    public const int Weight = 20;
}

More importantly, _why_ would you want to do that? You're probably trying to solve a problem from the wrong angle. — Pierre-Luc Pineault, Aug 19 '14 at 05:44
I have edited the question. I only have these Class to get information from and need to get a list of this const names and the value, to show on screen! — user3635120, Aug 19 '14 at 05:47

You can use reflection like this.

var fields = typeof(Cars)
    .GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static)
    .Select(f => new { Name = f.Name, Value = f.GetValue(null) })
    .ToList();

Looks like you were a few seconds faster with typing ;-) – chris Aug 19 '14 at 05:48
Wow, the answer was almost the same and you write it at the same time :) Great work both of you! – user3635120 Aug 19 '14 at 06:05

Yes:

typeof(Cars).GetFields(BindingFlags.Instance |BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public).Select(m => m.Name)
