Passing Value Type Parameter in the Reflection

[Elan Dro]

How we can pass the structure type (GUID) as value parameter to the
object using reflection setValue method of FieldInfo, PropertyInfo and
etc

Ex :
Public Class A
Public GUIDField as GUID
End Class
...
...
...
‘ my reflection code here
Dim Obj as New A()
Obj.GetType().GetField(“GUIDField”).SetValue(Obj, New
GUID(GUID.NewGUID().ToString()))

GUID(GUID.NewGUID().ToString()))

What's the problem? The code works. However, could be shortened to

Obj.GetType().GetField("GUIDField").SetValue(Obj, Guid.NewGuid())

Is there some reason not to just write
Obj.GUIDField = Guid.NewGuid()
directly?

Would have been my question too, but not everytime I wonder why somebody
needs it, and I thought it was only an example, not the real code.
