VB.NET: How do I create a variable name programmatically?

[kimkamp]

I want to create a variable name programmatically.

For instance:
Dim GlobVar as String = "My.STL."
Dim VarName as String = "sAccountNo"
Dim VarValue as String = "ABC123"

I want to end up with the following line of code, assigning a variable a value:

My.STL.sAccountNo = "ABC123"

How do I programmatically create the variable name?

I'm interested to hear if anyone has an answer to this that will work in the manner you imply. The only way I can think of to simulate something close would be to create a class:

 Public Class MyDemoClass 
  Public Properties As New PropertyCollection
End Class
 
'In your main code
Dim oClass As New MyDemoClass
oClass.Properties.Add("MyFirstProperty", "Value of first property")
MsgBox oClass.Properties("MyFirstProperty")

As you can see...it doesn't work in quite the manner you're looking for - but it does allow you to create a dictionary of properties to store values in.
