Using reflection to set properties.

[Suresh]

Hi,
How to set the TextBox text property using Reflection.
Or to that matter any property of a control.
Iam having trouble writing a function of the style

public static void SetPropertyValue(Object target, string
property_name(as the text or width), object propertyvalue)
{
target - get type;
type- property of given name;
use reflection to set the value;
}
Can also please suggest some good tutorials on reflection.

Thanks
Suresh

Type type = target.GetType();

type- property of given name;

PropertyInfo prop = type.GetProperty (name);

use reflection to set the value;

prop.SetValue (target, propertyValue, null);

}

I'm afraid I don't know of any specifically, but the MSDN class and
method descriptions are pretty good.
