c# - Accesing a Class.Name property from diffrent classes without inheritance -

i trying write method uses name property of diffrent classes , logic it.

in exampel keep simple restrict myself returning name value:

class dog {     public string name { get; set; } }  class human {     public string name { get; set; } }  /*  ... */  public string getnamefromnameproperty(object obj) {     return obj.name; } 

sadly classes not inherting parent class has name property. furthermore not possible implement or add interface.

---

short recap:
possible write generic method uses name property without being sure class has implemented property?

---

if really don't want make classes implement common interface or inherit base class, here 2 options:

reflection:

public string getnamefromnameproperty(object obj) {     var type = obj.gettype();     return type.getproperty("name").getvalue(obj) string; } 

dynamic binding:

public string getnamefromnameproperty(dynamic obj) {     try     {         return obj.name;     }     catch (runtimebinderexception)     {         throw new propertydoesntexistexception();     } } 

you can choose return null if property not exist.

however, advise use interfaces or inheritance this. lose type-safety c# provides if used above methods.
