If i have an object called comm and want to dynamicly set the properties
based on 2 columns (name and value) in a database and their value then
execute it how would i do that?

so basicly

dim comm as new commandObject

dim commandA as string = "comm." + dbPropertyName + "=" + dbPropertyValue

now i have the command built, how do i execute it? in foxpro we could do a
evaluate(commandA) and it would do it.. thanks!

I was a Clipper developer for years; I know where you are coming from, but I
think you may have to get over it. .NET does not have the same type of
run-time compile power that Clipper and FoxPro and even dBaseIII+ had.

However there is some capability for run-time compiling in the Reflection
namespace, but I don't think it's going to do the job you want done.
