Applying Object values to another object dynamically

[shwaguy]

-I am querying MS AD Objects and want to transfer the properties to my own object with as little code as possible. -I know that there are other ways around this like creating an XLM table to store values but think that might be too much overhead. -If I cannot do something like what is below I will have to write a line for each propertry I want to retrieve. -If I simply copy(not sure how to do this, I dont want to keep running the query) the object I will not be able to see a list of available properties in my IDE.: Any comments or help? Class MyClass { private string cn; private string sn; public void GetADObjectInfo(string dn) { DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://"+ dn); foreach (string strAttrName in entry.Properties.PropertyNames) { try { //this is the part I want done dynamically this.strAttrName = (string)result.Properties[strAttName][0]; } catch { } } } } with Regards, shwa guy

public class MyClass {   private readonly Dictionary properties = new Dictionary();   public string this[string name]   {     get { return properties[name]; }     set     {       if (properties.ContainsKey(name))         properties[name] = value;       else         properties.Add(name, value);     }   }   public void GetADObjectInfo(string dn)   {     DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + dn);     foreach (string strAttrName in entry.Properties.PropertyNames)     {       this[strAttrName] = entry.Properties[strAttrName][0] as string;     }   } } Then access it like: string myString = MyClass["PropertyName"]; But you can't get it strongly typed (MyClass.PropertyName) without doing it one at a time I think.
