Question

I want to display attribute of an object based on the input string . If input is “x” and Object is “obj”, i want to display something like “obj.x” without using if,switch or other conditional operators. Can someone help me?

public void My_Method(String input)
{
MyClass  tempVariable=getMyClass();

display something like ---->  tempVariable.input
}

public getMyClass()
{
MyClass value = MyClass();
value.x=10;
value.y=20;
.........
return value;

}


public class MyClass
{
public int x {get;set;}
public int y {get ;set;}
......
}

The purpose of this is as follows
Im receiving a dynamic ExpanObject type from a API. There will a lot of name value pairs and one name value pair contains value as comma separated list of some variable names. I have to get the value of these variables

You can use reflection

var fVal = obj.GetType().GetField("x").GetValue(obj);

or

var pVal = obj.GetType().GetProperty("x").GetValue(obj,null);
