I am trying to get the list of BO property, the solution I figured out is to create an instance method in which calling FieldManager.GetRegisteredProperties().

Is it possible to create a static method to do this?

Not currently, no. Right now the PropertyInfoManager is scoped as internal, so there's not a way to get a list of registered properties for a type without having an instance of that type.

What is your scenario?

I am building a general search window, idea is passing a BO, then populate all the fields to let user choose and set search criteria.

Seems creating instance is the only way, my work around is just warp "FieldManager.GetRegisteredProperties()" in another static method, so UI code just need to call "BO.PropertyList".

What's the concern to make FieldManager not public?
