Setting a property by reflection with a string value

I have an object with multiple properties. Let’s call the object objName. I’m trying to create a method that simply updates the object with the new property values.

I want to be able to do the following in a method:

private void SetObjectProperty(string propertyName, string value, ref object objName)
{
    //some processing on the rest of the code to make sure we actually want to set this value.
    objName.propertyName = value
}

and finally, the call:

SetObjectProperty("nameOfProperty", textBoxValue.Text, ref objName);

Hope the question is fleshed out enough. Let me know if you need more details.

Thanks for the answers all!

Answer 1

objName.GetType().GetProperty("nameOfProperty").SetValue(objName, objValue, null)
