Well I think what you are looking for is Reflection.

You can see a good example here: http://www.switchonthecode.com/tutorials/csharp-tutorial-using-reflection-to-get-object-information

As said before - objects don't have names but you can traverse the objects and get their type and act accordingly.

This blog here shows a real good example of traversing and usage of reflection.

This should be a good start for sure. Enjoy!
