well, if u really need a generic method, you can do the following.
           1) add reference of System.Reflection
           2) and in your code, where you are performing
initialization add.
                     Assembly l_oAssembly =
Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
                    Types[] l_oTypes = l_oAssembly.GetTypes();

                    This array of Types is a collection of all the
propertise of your Running application. Select the appropriate type and
call "GetPropertise()" function to get the propertyInfo array. From
there, Set any value you like by calling "SetValue" function. It is by
far the best and most general method to change propertises.
