I have to get values of class members using strings of their names only. I think I have to use Reflection but I am not realy sure how to. Can you help me?

Answer 1

MemberInfo member = typeof(MyClass).GetMember("membername");

GetMember reference.

If you know type of member you're looking for, you can use .GetMethod, .GetField, .GetProperty, etc.

If you don't know the type you are working with:

var myobject = someobject;
string membername = "somemember";
MemberInfo member = myobject.GetType().GetMember(membername);

Different member types have different means to getting the value. For a property you would do:

var myobject = someobject;
string propertyname = "somemember";
PropertyInfo property = myobject.GetType().GetProperty(membername);
object value = property.GetValue(myobject, null);

Answer 2

public class Foo
{
  public string A { get; set; }
}
public class Example
{
  public void GetPropertyValueExample()
  {
    Foo f = new Foo();
    f.A = "Example";
    var val = f.GetType().GetProperty("A").GetValue(f, null);
  }
}
