object value = obj.GetType().GetProperty("PropertyName").GetValue(obj,
null);

(where obj is your original object, and "PropertyName" is the name of the
public instance property).

The null passed at the end are binding flags which could enable you to read
private/internal properties too.

Not quite. The null in the call to GetValue above is the "index" value
in case you're dealing with what in C# terms is an indexer instead of a
property (they're both properties in .NET terminology). The overload
which takes a BindingFlags is a different one (and far less commonly
used, IME) - you'd normally specify the BindingFlags in the call to
GetProperty to get at a private/internal property.
