C# variable inside a variable name / C# equivalent of eval()

[Matt Jensen]

Howdy
I'm hoping to put a variable inside a variable name.
In JavaScript, you would use eval(myvar+i) or something like that. What is
the C# equiavlent of eval? Or how do I do it in C# .NET?

Here is a very primitive example of what I mean.

for (int i;i<5;i++) {
int eval(myvar+i) = i;
}

Response.Write(myvar1);
Response.Write(myvar2);

Any ideas?
Thanks a lot
Matt

You'd have to use Reflection to access the variable by name. Like this:

class Foo {
int namedField = 42;

void AccessField() {
int val = (int) GetType().InvokeMember("namedField",
BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic |
BindingFlags.GetField, null, this, null);

// now you should have 42 in val.
}
}
