I have this:

IEnumerable<dynamic> operations;
foreach(var row in operations)
{
  // this works, myElementName is a db field
  var tmp = row.myElementName;
  // this is what I wish:
  string myField ="myElementName";
  var tmp_error = row.getProperty(myField);
}

Is it possible? I've tried with reflection but it did not work..

not work 'cause getProperty doesn't exists and using reflection retrieves null values

Thanks!

If you are going to use reflection, why bother with dynamic? Just a question while I research an answer – Steve Mitcham Mar 03 '15 at 12:43

Just saying "doesn't work" really doesn't help us - what exactly did you try, and what exactly happened? – Jon Skeet Mar 03 '15 at 12:44
