Object not containing public definition for GetEnumerator, how can I iterate through the properties?

Question

How can I enumerate through all properties of the FileInfo object "info"?

I listed their names below commented out, but I can't enumerate through them with a foreach loop or a for loop? Thanks

    string filePathAndName = "c:\temp.txt";

    FileInfo info = new FileInfo(filePathAndName);  
    // attributes, creation time, creation timeutc, directory, directoryname, exists, extension, fullname, isreadonly, lastaccesstime, lastaccesstimeutc, lastwritetime, lastwritetimeutc, length, name

Are you talking about the actual file attributes as in what the file system calls file attributes (archive, read-only, etc.), or the `FileInfo` properties? You need to be careful about terminology to avoid ambiguity. — itsme86, May 16 '17 at 17:03
The file info properties. The code below worked great, I searched for 2 hours and was not able to find that. Thanks for the reply — Brad, May 16 '17 at 17:14

var info = new FileInfo(filePathAndName);

foreach (var propertyInfo in info.GetType().GetProperties())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{propertyInfo.Name}: {propertyInfo.GetValue(info)}");
}

Thank you for providing a usable answer. Now that I see how your answer works I am able to read the more generic answer above and understand how that applies as well. – Brad May 16 '17 at 17:17
