Name of Variable at Runtime

[S Shulman]

Hi

Is there any way of finding out the name of a variable at Runtime?

I am working on solution to add all member variables of a class to a
collection and write them to file in pairs of name=value, that will save the
need to modify the file read/write method each time I add a member variable
to the class as well as ther initial code

The only other way is to use class object or add an extra member to the
collection for each memeber in the correct order

Thank you,
Shmuel Shulman

Dim typ As Type = GetType(Form1)
For Each fi As FieldInfo In typ.GetFields(Instance Or NonPublic)
Dim Value As Object = fi.GetValue(Me)
Dim s As String
Try
s = Value.ToString()
Catch ex As Exception
s = ""
End Try
MsgBox(fi.Name & " = " & s)
Next fi
