Set object property using reflection

Question

Is there a way in C# where I can use reflection to set an object property?

Ex:

MyObject obj = new MyObject();
obj.Name = \"Value\";

Based on MarcGravell's suggestion, I have constructed the following static method.The method generically assigns all matching properties from source object to target using FastMember

 public static void DynamicPropertySet(object source, object target)
    {
        //SOURCE
        var src_accessor = TypeAccessor.Create(source.GetType());
        if (src_accessor == null)
        {
            throw new ApplicationException("Could not create accessor!");
        }
        var src_members = src_accessor.GetMembers();
        if (src_members == null)
        {
            throw new ApplicationException("Could not fetch members!");
        }
        var src_class_members = src_members.Where(x => x.Type.IsClass && !x.Type.IsPrimitive);
        var src_class_propNames = src_class_members.Select(x => x.Name);
        var src_propNames = src_members.Except(src_class_members).Select(x => x.Name);

        //TARGET
        var trg_accessor = TypeAccessor.Create(target.GetType());
        if (trg_accessor == null)
        {
            throw new ApplicationException("Could not create accessor!");
        }
        var trg_members = trg_accessor.GetMembers();
        if (trg_members == null)
        {
            throw new ApplicationException("Could not create accessor!");
        }
        var trg_class_members = trg_members.Where(x => x.Type.IsClass && !x.Type.IsPrimitive);
        var trg_class_propNames = trg_class_members.Select(x => x.Name);
        var trg_propNames = trg_members.Except(trg_class_members).Select(x => x.Name);



        var class_propNames = trg_class_propNames.Intersect(src_class_propNames);
        var propNames = trg_propNames.Intersect(src_propNames);

        foreach (var propName in propNames)
        {
            trg_accessor[target, propName] = src_accessor[source, propName];
        }
        foreach (var member in class_propNames)
        {
            var src = src_accessor[source, member];
            var trg = trg_accessor[target, member];
            if (src != null && trg != null)
            {
                DynamicPropertySet(src, trg);
            }
        }
    }
