Getting Named Property Value from Control..

[JaedenRuiner]

I remember in vb6 there were ways that when provided a "Control" you could request the value of a property via a name's repository. Does anything like that exist for vb.net?

Example:

dim Txt as new TextBox
Txt.Text = "Hello Word"
GetProperty(txt, "Text")

public Function GetProperty(ctl as Control, PropName as String) as Object
dim obj as object = nothing
try
  obj = ctl.[i]Properties[/i](PropName)
catch
end try
end function

In vb6 it was the .Properties() collection, but I haven't found that in .Net so far.

Thanks

Hello.

You can use Reflection to do that.

MyControl.GetType.GetPropertie("PropertieName")

This works also for all Methods etc.
