Question

I would like to know how can I create different variables according to the value of a property.

Example:

foreach (DataColumn column in entry.Columns)
{
    if(column.ColumnName.Contains("weight") || 
       column.ColumnName.Contains("amount"))
        float column.ColumnName = 0;
}

In this case the code would create as much variables as columns in entry contains the selected words and the variables would be called as the columnName property.

Thanks in advance.

I think for that purpose could be used Dictionary

Dictionary<string, float> columnNameAndValue = new Dictionary<string, float>();

foreach (DataColumn column in entry.Columns)
{
    if (column.ColumnName.Contains("weight") || 
        column.ColumnName.Contains("amount")) //float column.ColumnName = 0;
    {
        columnNameAndValue.Add(column.ColumnName, 0);
    }
}
