Question

I want to write a function which will return FontStyle and take string as Parameter

FontStyle f = function ("Italic"); // FontStyles.Italic

I don’t want to write Switch case or if else statements to do the same.

Can it be done for case insensitive strings?

FontStyle f = function ("italic");
FontStyle f = function ("itAlic"); 

should return same.

You can use reflection for this:

var propertyInfo = typeof(FontStyles).GetProperty("Italic",
                                                  BindingFlags.Static |
                                                  BindingFlags.Public |
                                                  BindingFlags.IgnoreCase);
FontStyle f = (FontStyle)propertyInfo.GetValue(null, null);
