Logging is an ongoing subject that I had some posts about it. In this post I am adding two methods to my beloved Logger class.
The first one shows the values of each property where the property is readable while the second method tries to show the signature of the method.

/// <summary>
/// Shows the public properties
/// </summary>
/// <param name="instance"></param>
public static void ShowPropertyValues(object  instance)
{
 var  instanceType = instance.GetType();
 Information(">>> Showing Instance Properties: "  + instanceType.Name);

 var  props = instanceType.GetProperties();
 foreach  (var  property in  props)
 {
   if  (!property.CanRead) continue ; //'t read! 
   Information(string .Format("Instance.{0} ='{1}'" , property.Name, property.GetValue(instance, null )));
 }
}

/// <summary>
/// Shows the public properties
/// </summary>
/// <param name="instance"></param>
public  static  void  ShowPropertySignature(object  instance)
{
 var  instanceType = instance.GetType();
 Information(">>> Showing Type Properties: "  + instanceType.Name);

 var  props = TypeDescriptor .GetProperties(instance);
 foreach  (PropertyDescriptor  prop in  props)
 {
   Information("----------------------------------------------------" );
   Information(string .Format("Name ='" , prop.Name));
   Information(string .Format("DisplayName ='" , prop.DisplayName));
   Information(string .Format("Description ='" , prop.Description));
   Information(string .Format("ComponentType ='" , prop.ComponentType.Name));
   Information(string .Format("Category ='" , prop.Category));
   Information(string .Format("IsBrowsable ='" , prop.IsBrowsable));
   Information(string .Format("IsLocalizable ='" , prop.IsLocalizable));
   Information(string .Format("IsReadOnly ='" , prop.IsReadOnly));
   Information(string .Format("PropertyType ='" , prop.PropertyType.Name));
   Information(string .Format("SerializationVisibility ='" , prop.SerializationVisibility));
   Information(string .Format("SupportsChangeEvents ='" , prop.SupportsChangeEvents));
 }
}
