Convert myObject.Parameter to string "myObject.Parameter"

[Nemisis]

Hi,

Is it possible to pass in an object and parameter into a function and
return it as a string.

i.e.

To make a call to the function i would put the following

Dim str as String = MyTestFunction(myObject.Parameter)

str should equal "myObject.Parameter"

if myObject was of type myObj, then str should return "myObj.Parameter"

Thanks

Hello, Nemisis!

What type has myObj.Property?

IMO to accomplish what you want you have to pass
to MyTestFunction not only propery value, but the whole type.

Vad,

Maybe i have not explained to well. If i run the code below, what code
would i need in the function.

Dim A As Company = Company.GetCompany(6) ' 6 is the Id of the
company

Dim str as String = ReturnClassAndPropertyAsString(A.Name)

str should be equal to "Company.Name".

I believe i would have to use reflection for this? but i am not sure
if maybe there is a simpler solution that i do not know about.
