many in advance help.

this how can it. (by way, code might error out on "dictionary key not being unique" since second useritem try add same property name dictionary. might need list<keyvaluepair<string, string>>)

        foreach (var property in theproperties)         {             // gets value of property instance.             // careful of null values.             var value = property.getvalue(useritem);              userdetails.add(property.name, value == null ? null : value.tostring());         } 

and way, if you're in mvc context, take reference system.web.routing , use following snippet.

foreach (var useritem in useritems) {  // rvd provided routing framework , gives dictionary   // of object property names , values, without doing   // funky.   var useritemdictionary= new routevaluedictionary(useritem); }
