Use reflection to get the value of a property by name in a class instance
- by TheMoot
Lets say I have
class Person
{
public Person(int age, string name)
{
Age = age;
Name = name;
}
public int Age{get;set}
public string Name{get;set}
}
and I would like to create a method that accepts a string that contains either
"age" or "name" and returns an object with the value of that property.
Like the following pseudo code:
public object GetVal(string propName)
{
return <propName>.value;
}
How can I do this using reflection?
I am coding using asp.net 3.5, c# 3.5
