Hello all!
If an object has a member, who's name was not known but only stored in a string, how could I access that member?
Thanks in advance,

What you exactly mean by this question??? How come an object has a member who has no name ! and if it is then what you think intelliSense is for? and didn't understand yet what you exactly trying to ask.

He didn't say the object's member had no name. He said the name was stored in a string.

I'll give an example:
<br />
Dim obj As New MyClass<br />
Dim str As String = "member"<br />
Assume that str was user input, and I do not know what it is. How do I access obj.str?

Are you saying that user knew the method in your Class and you want to choose the method in your MyClass according to what user enters ???

str is not even a member of MyClass its just a string field which can be used at class level or in a method locally depends on its declaration.

Or maybe the user knows something from which a lookup in a database or XML file could be made which returns the name of the method.

True, you cannot use a string in that way. But you can use the string to invoke the correct method through "Reflection"

I know buddy but as he said in his later post bellow that he's a newbie didn't know anything about reflection so thought that he didn't ask a question related to reflection !

Why would you think that? The most obvious thing is that if he didn't know anything about reflection then his question may be related but he didn't realise it was related. It is therefore necessary to bring the idea to his attention to find out if it really is related or not.

sounds like your talking about reflection...

Pardon the noobish question please: whats reflection?

There is a System.Reflection namespace that contains a number of useful classes to help you with this.
Everything has a GetType() method which returns a Type object.
Use GetMethod() to find the method that you want with the string. This will return a MethodInfo object.
You can then use the MethodInfo object with your object to Invoke() the method.

Camtasia Studio[^] from Techsmith[^] is excellent. I use it from time to time for building training materials.

Sort the data in your database query that you use to populate your DataTable.

I think in VB.NET its ValueMember as I didn't work in VB6 for quite a long time you can try this property as it says "The Property to use as an actual value for the items in the control" to suit your needs.
Hope it helps !
