Hello, I have the following code line: a = MyClass.PropertyA Is it possible to do something as follows? a = MyClass.(b) where b is "PropertyA" Thanks, Miguel see the reflection namespace. Object a = MyClass.GetType().GetProperty(b).GetValue(MyClass,null); -- bruce (sqlwork.com) > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Thanks, > Miguel > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Thanks, > Miguel It can be done using reflection. However it's generally a bad idea to mix code and data. What is it that you are trying to do, really?

I have a class with many properties which are of type collection. This class also have a function that finds an element in one of those collections. The inputs of the function are the name of the property to be used and the name of the element inside it. So instead of having a Select Case with many cases I just get one of the properties using the selected code. It is working fine. Any problem in using this this way?

If these properties are all the same kind of collection, then perhaps rather than a class with properties which are collections, you really have a class with one property which is a collection of collections.

If you just want simple, it works. If you want performance, a switch is your best bet. If you want robust code, an enum instead of a string as identifier is better. It also performs slightly better.
