This is one of those things I do instinctively in Fox with Eval() or & and don't quite have the hang of yet in .NET



I have a number of private properties of type businesslayer



_Endorsements

_Premises

_GL

_Propmaster





I get a name ( but getting the displayvalue of an enum BOName ) of a business object.



The properties are named _



Now I want to look at the count of the BO based on the string which have representing



Dim varname as String = "_" & MicroFour.StrataFrame.Tools.Common.GetEnumDisplayValue(bo.BOName)



Lets say varname = "PROPMASTER"



Now I want to get the count of whatever BO is in the property which is in the string varname



i.e. Propmaster.count





Fumbling with syntax here. Appreciate any guidance.



TIA

But it is still an issue of manually grinding through a collection of BOs to find a match. I am doing that now and sure it works, but I think I am missing some .NET technique ( reflection? ) where I can do something very close to the eval.



The bos are properties of the method I'm in. (they were passed in as params and assigned to private properties



_Propmaster



etc.



once I have a string "_Propmaster"



It seems I should be able to do something like me.properties("_Propmaster").count
