Question

I am using the C# GetPropertymethod using reflection.

obj.GetType().GetProperty(“columnName”)

However I cannot guarantee the exact casing of the column name as it is being based in from an external source. It maybe ColumnName or columnname

I was thinking if I could just force the string column name to uppercase, but how would I then deal with the Property on the object itself? The getProperty method looks like it needs to be the EXACT casing?

Answer 1

You can use

var prop = GetProperty("columnname",
                       BindingFlags.Instance | 
                       BindingFlags.Public | 
                       BindingFlags.IgnoreCase);

Note that you’ll still need the Instance and Public bit (assuming that this is a public instance property) as otherwise it won’t find anything.
