That' a very interesting question. If I understrand you as correctly you want to change your varialbe name as dynamicly. Isnt it? If this is true, one big question will be occure that is WHY? :) — Eyup Can ARSLAN, Jul 30 '18 at 06:02
@NitinSawant I want the variable name to be equivalent to the value string variable — s.m.m, Jul 30 '18 at 06:05
You can't rename a variable but you could create a Dictionary which will allow you to set your MyName as KEY.Then you would be able to access your value with your specified name => https://www.dotnetperls.com/dictionary — Momo, Jul 30 '18 at 06:42

You can't because C# is a strongly-typed language.

See Types (C# Programming Guide).

C# is a strongly-typed language. Every variable and constant has a type, as does every expression that evaluates to a value. Every method signature specifies a type for each input parameter and for the return value. The .NET class library defines a set of built-in numeric types as well as more complex types that represent a wide variety of logical constructs, such as the file system, network connections, collections and arrays of objects, and dates. A typical C# program uses types from the class library as well as user-defined types that model the concepts that are specific to the program's problem domain.
