c# - Using list item contents as string name -

i'm using c# , making lists sqlite query responses.

list1 contains field name of field in list2

list1[i].field = fieldname 

i want use fieldname stored in list1[i].field access item in list2 like:

list2[ii].+list1[i].field+ 

i have no idea if possible in way in c# i'm relatively new , going off knowledge of php work.

for type of data structure, use dictionary (key/value pairs) dynamically select properties of object. specific example, accomplished reflection, not commonly used since other structures make easier.

list2[ii].gettype().getproperty(list1[i].field).getvalue(list2[ii], null); 

reflection isn't fastest type of solution typically, , it's not great come in behind , maintain code lot of reflection if can avoided.

alternatively, use linq transfer list2 list of object types list of dictionary objects list2[ii][list1[i].field] accomplish same thing.

var listdictionaries = list2     .select(l => new dictionary<string, object>()     {         new { "prop1", l.prop1 },         new { "prop2", l.prop2 },         new { "prop3", l.prop3 },     }).toarray(); listdictionaries[ii][list1[i].field];
