Get value of c# dynamic property via string

Question

I\'d like to access the value of a dynamic c# property with a string:

dynamic d = new { value1 = \"some\", value2 = \"random\", value3 = \"value\"

Answer 1

public static object GetProperty(object target, string name)
{
    var site = System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CallSite>.Create(Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.Binder.GetMember(0, name, target.GetType(), new[]{Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.CSharpArgumentInfo.Create(0,null)}));
    return site.Target(site, target);
}

Add reference to Microsoft.CSharp. Works also for dynamic types and private properties and fields.

Edit: While this approach works, there is almost 20× faster method from the Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll assembly:

public static object GetProperty(object target, string name)
{
    return Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Versioned.CallByName(target, name, CallType.Get);
}
