Yes, this is duplicate effort, but not if you have two object types with properties of the same name and you want the value of one object's property based on the property name of the other. Not that I can see a reason for doing this... I also read posts about how you take great performance hits using reflection, but this is often a non-issue. Many programs I write process at the speed that the user types, and reflection works faster than they do. Reflection has made my life dramatically easier and enabled me to create needed programs with a fraction of the code.

I LOVE regions, but only on a structured, limited basis. They are helpful to organize the class, but can get unruly if overused. I stick to several standard regions and alphabetize my methods, properties, etc, so that everything is easy to find. - Catalyst
