# Properties

### Introduction

The Properties list contains properties on a MapDrawableBatch obtained from Layer properties in tiled.

Properties can be added to Layers in Tiled to be accessed at runtime.

### Code Example - Accessing Layer Properties

The following code shows how to access layers in Tiled. It assumes that the Tiled layer has the following properties:

* StringProperty
* FloatProperty
* IntProperty

```csharp
var layer = this.Map.MapLayers.FindByName("GameplayLayer");
var layerProperties = layer.Properties;
var stringProperty = layerProperties
    .First(item => item.Name == "StringProperty");
var intProperty = layerProperties
    .First(item => item.Name == "IntProperty");
var floatProperty = layerProperties
                .First(item => item.Name == "FloatProperty");

var stringValue = stringProperty.Value;
// all values come in as strings, so they must be parsed:
var intValue = int.Parse((string)intProperty.Value);
var floatValue = float.Parse((string)floatProperty.Value);
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.flatredball.com/flatredball/tiled-plugin/flatredball-tilegraphics-mapdrawablebatch/properties.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
