How can I read the properties of a C# class dynamically?

I have to get values of class members using strings of their names only. I think I have to use Reflection but I am not realy sure how to. Can you help me?

Answer 1

MemberInfo member = typeof(MyClass).GetMember("membername");

GetMember reference.

If you know type of member you’re looking for, you can use .GetMethod, .GetField, .GetProperty, etc.

If you don’t know the type you are working with:

var myobject = someobject;
string membername = "somemember";
MemberInfo member = myobject.GetType().GetMember(membername);

Different member types have different means to getting the value. For a property you would do:

var myobject = someobject;
string propertyname = "somemember";
PropertyInfo property = myobject.GetType().GetProperty(membername);
object value = property.GetValue(myobject, null);
