Reflection

[SirMorrisBig]

Hello world! I have a class and I wish to get a reference to one of its member variables at runtime. class foo { public string bar1; public string bar2; .. } I have called foo.GetFields() and I am the proud owner of an array of FieldInfo structures giving me information about all of the type's member variables. I can see my strings (checkboxes/bears) in the list. My question is: How can I take this FieldInfo data, and get a reference to the desired variable and hence manipulate it?? Many thanks in advance, Charlie (C:=

You've already got it: the FieldInfo. If you want to get or set a field's value, use FieldInfo.GetValue and FieldInfo.SetValue. If the fields are instance fields, you must pass the object whos fields you want to retreive.

Where does foo and bar come from, as it seems to be standard in using in examples? Does it come from FUBAR? Thanks :-)
