reflection's GetFields() not retrieving protected properties from base class

[TS]

i have tried .GetFields (BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public |
BindingFlags.NonPublic );
but it wont get the protected properties declared on the type's base class.
How do i get it to work...(.FlattenHierarchy is for only static ones.)

That asks for fields. If you want properties, call GetProperties()
instead. If that doesn't help, please post a short but complete program
which demonstrates the problem.

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for details of
what I mean by that.

Dear TS,

If you want to get the protected properties you can call the
GetProperties() method instead of the GetFields() method.

I know what a property is, whats a field then...I was thinking a field

No. A field is a variable contained in the class. It's specifically not
a property, method, _or_ interface.
