I think you can use a little reflection here. Take a look at Type.GetProperties().

private PropertyInfo[] _PropertyInfos = null;

public override string ToString()
{
    if(_PropertyInfos == null)
        _PropertyInfos = this.GetType().GetProperties();

    var sb = new StringBuilder();

    foreach (var info in _PropertyInfos)
    {
        var value = info.GetValue(this, null) ?? "(null)";
        sb.AppendLine(info.Name + ": " + value.ToString());
    }

    return sb.ToString();
}
