Hi Tino,
Based on my understanding, what you want to do is to access an
variable(Var2) by using another variable(Var1)'s value., which is a name
string.
I think this feature is usually supported by scripting programming
language, i.e. the language will execute code line one by one.
Implementing such a feature is resource-consuming and can cause performance
hit, so compiled languages like C/C++,VB, VB.NET and etc. never supported
the feature.
In such languages, compiler usually does not maintain variable names in the
executables so identifying a variable though a string name is not feasible.
Some controls (not the language) themselves maintain a name so they can be
identified using a name string, like for Controls in VB.
In .NET if you just want to identify a field (not local variables) you can
achieve that by using the reflection as Ken said. You may refer the article
in MSDN.

If you simply want to bind two variables together so changing one will
cause the other to change as well you can use a reference type (class) to
encapsulate the value.
Can you tell me what do you want to do in the project?
I think there may be a better solution for you.
