Question

Is there any way to set the properties of the objects from string. For example I have “FullRowSelect=true” and “HoverSelection=true” statements as string for ListView property.

How to assign these property along with their values without using if-else or switch-case statments? Is there any SetProperty(propertyName,Value) method or similar for this?

Answer 1

You can do this with reflection, have a look at the PropertyInfo class’s SetValue method

 YourClass theObject = this;
 PropertyInfo piInstance = typeof(YourClass).GetProperty("PropertyName");
 piInstance.SetValue(theObject, "Value", null);
