Map object properties to array using C#

Is this possible to do in C#?

I have POCO object here is definition:

public class Human
{
    public string Name{get;set;}
    public int Age{get;set;}
    public int Weight{get;set;}
}

I would like to map properties of object Human to string array.

Something like this:

Human hObj = new Human{Name="Xi",Age=16,Weight=50};

Or I can have List<Human>:

string [] props = new string [COUNT OF hObj PROPERTIES];

foreach(var prop in hObj PROPERTIES)
{
    props["NAME OF PROPERTIES"] = hObj PROPERTIES VALUE    
}

It should be something like this:

var props = new Dictionary<string, object>();
foreach(var prop in hObj.GetType().GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public|BindingFlags.Instance);)
{
    props.Add(prop.Name, prop.GetValue(hObj, null));
}

see here for info on GetProperties and here for PropertyInfo

You can use reflection to get an object's properties and values:

var properties = typeof(Human).GetProperties();

IList<KeyValuePair<string, object>> propertyValues = new List<KeyValuePair<string, object>>();

foreach (var propertyInfo in properties)
{
    propertyValues.Add(propertyInfo.Name, propertyInfo.GetValue(oneHuman));
}
