Question

public object ReturnSqlScript(string token)
{
    object script = "";
    Type settingsType = typeof(Settings);
    foreach (var propertyInfo in settingsType.GetProperties())
       {
           try
                {
                    if (propertyInfo.Name.Contains(token))
                    {
                        script = propertyInfo.GetValue(propertyInfo, null);
                    }
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
                }
      }
            return script;
}

I have a bunch of SQL Scripts stored in Settings and this method allows me to get the Name of them by matching it to a token (eg. SqlScript2) however when I try to get the string value stored in SqlScript2 it will return “System.String SqlScript 2” rather than the value stored in it. Can I adjust the GetValue method to return my stored string?

Looking up documentation but have you tried?

var script = Settings.Default[token].ToString();

I had already answered it here.
