Dynamically invoke properties by string name using VB.NET

Question

I\'m currently working on a project where a section of the code looks like this:

Select Case oReader.Name
    Case \"NameExample1\"
        Me.Elements.NameE         


        

Answer 1

Yes, CallByName is the best solution for you. Here's instruction of doing it:

CallByName(yourClassOrObjectName,"NameExample1",CallType.Set,oReader.ReadString)

You can write "NameExample" in place of "NameExample1".
Mention, that third parameter lets you 'Get', 'Let' that parameter (and even invoke any method).
So you can get your parameter's value using CallType.Get.
