reflection, access the field of object dynamically

[tienhuat]

Hi,

Let say I have an instance of class, eg. ArrayList. And assume that I
don't what properties are inside this instance/class. As I know I can
use Reflection to get the properties.

Now, assume that I got the properties programmatically, let them be
Count and Capacity.

How can I access the Count and Capacity for this 'instance',?

regards,
john

Or, more fully:

PropertyInfo countPi = instance.GetType().GetProperty("Count");
int count = (int)countPi.GetValue(instance);
