.net core - C# - Get the Model properties inside a List<Model> and SetValue with System.Reflection

Question

I am doing a POC for a project that I am developing and at the moment I'm in kind of a hard spot. So, I am receiving a param T which normally is a Model and then I have to check its properties to see which type the props are and then populate them. To achieve this I am using System.Reflection which does the job wonderfully! So far so good, It's working fine.

The problem is when the property in the model is a List

This is the example model that I have:

public List<TestModel2> TestList1 { get; set; }

public string test1 { get; set; }

public string test2 { get; set; }

public string test3 { get; set; }

So, the strings are totally fine, I can receive the Model, see their type and populate their value, the real problem arises when I get TestList1 which I can't seem to get the TestModel2 props and types.

This is a library that I am developing for a project, that's why the param type for the model is T by the way, it's because you can pass different models in which I will populate.

How can I access the Model inside the List<TestModel2> and check its properties and types with System.Reflection?

Can you guys give me a hint?
