Question

Python has a setattr to set public attributes for any class on the fly.

So, how to do that with VB.net ?

I mean :

Public Class abc
  ...
End Class

' Set it as :
abc.setattr("prop", 5)

' Use it as :
Dim ob As New abc
value = abc.prop

Is that possible with VB.net – If yes, Please explain how ?

Answer 1

There is no such feature in VB.NET. You have to define Properties manually.

For instance – Anonymous types.

Dim obj = New With {.No = 10, .Name = ""}
obj.Name = "Mr.X"

Or

Named types

 Public Class Abc
     Public Property No As Integer
     Public Property Name As String
 End Class
