Exclude property from getType().GetProperties()

I'm not sure what the domain is here, so I'm going out on a limb...

Usually what you want to do is use Attributes to tag the properties to include in your metadata searching, not the other way around.

Extension methods and attributes will help you:

public class SkipPropertyAttribute : Attribute
{
}

public static class TypeExtensions
{
    public static PropertyInfo[] GetFilteredProperties(this Type type)
    {
        return type.GetProperties().Where(pi => pi.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(SkipPropertyAttribute), true).Length == 0).ToArray();
    }       
}

public class Test
{
    public string One { get; set; }

    [SkipProperty]
    public string Two { get; set; }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var t = new Test();
        Type ty = t.GetType();

        PropertyInfo[] pinfo = ty.GetFilteredProperties();
        foreach (PropertyInfo p in pinfo)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(p.Name);
        }

        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}

UPDATE:

Little more elegant implementation of the GetFilteredProperties (thanks to Marc Gravell):

public static class TypeExtensions
{
    public static PropertyInfo[] GetFilteredProperties(this Type type)
    {
        return type.GetProperties()
              .Where(pi => !Attribute.IsDefined(pi, typeof(SkipPropertyAttribute)))
              .ToArray();
    }
}

You could put a custom attribute on your type.

public class DoNotIncludeAttribute : Attribute
{
}

public static class ExtensionsOfPropertyInfo
{
    public static IEnumerable<T> GetAttributes<T>(this PropertyInfo propertyInfo) where T : Attribute
    {
        return propertyInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(T), true).Cast<T>();
    }
    public static bool IsMarkedWith<T>(this PropertyInfo propertyInfo) where T : Attribute
    {
        return property.GetAttributes<T>().Any();
    }
}
public class Test
{
    public string One { get; set; }

    [DoNotInclude]
    public string Two { get; set; }
}

Then, in your runtime, you can search for properties that are not hidden.

foreach (var property in properties.Where(p => !p.IsMarkedWith<DoNotIncludeAttribute>())
{
    // do something...
}

It won't be really hidden, but it wouldn't show up in the enumeration.
