reflection

[Guest]

I have an object and I want to reference one of it's properties at run-time.

Normally if I Knew the property I would write something like:

transrow.GroupDescription = "test data".

but if I had a string variable with the value "GroupDescription" How would
I call this method of the 'transrow' object using this string?

I have tried: transrow.GetType().GetProperty("GroupDescription") = "test
data" but it doesn't seem to work.

Any Ideas? Thanks

How did you setup your property?

I found an answer if it helps anyone in the future:

transrow.GetType().GetProperty("GroupDescription").SetValue(transrow, "test
data", Nothing)

You might want to check out CallByName Function.
