How to access members of Object using variables

Question

Here I have a requirement that i need to access the members of objects dynamically Suppose Example I have created a person object with the members Name , Age, gender, Height, Weight and I have a variable with the name personProperty which will hold member names like Some times personProperty = "Name" and sometimes personProperty = "Gender"

So is there any way that i can access like Person.[personProperty] to set or get values from person object

You can get a Property by name using reflection, like this:

public static object GetPropertyValue(object person, string propName)
{
  return person.GetType().GetProperty(propName).GetValue(propName, null);
}

Or try to cast your object to another defined type...
