I am building a dynamic method, which takes in an object name (string)

 public Message Message => model;

What I need to do is get a particular property on Message using the name of the property like so:

Type myType = typeof("Message");

Then get the value of the property like this:

myType .GetProperty("Message").GetValue(myType, null);

"Message" will any string input which points to a property on the Message objecy

Is this possible using reflection?

`model.GetType()` or `typeof(Message)`? – CodeCaster Mar 14 '17 at 16:06
@CodeCaster - whichever works – John Mar 14 '17 at 16:08

No, I mean it is unclear what you're asking. `typeof("Message")` won't compile, so what exactly do you need help with? – CodeCaster Mar 14 '17 at 16:08
I need to cast "Message" to the property in the class. – John Mar 14 '17 at 16:11
Message is the name of the property – John Mar 14 '17 at 16:11
Please read [ask] and [edit] your question so it shows a clear example. – CodeCaster Mar 14 '17 at 16:14
