    copied!<p>I am not sure what the best and simplest way to do this, so any advice is appreciated.</p> <p>I want to get all the fields on any/all/single domain entity class and add prefix/remove prefix dynamically when calling a particular method.</p> <p>For example, I have entities such as:</p> <pre><code>public class Shop { public string TypeOfShop{get;set} public string OwnerName {get;set} public string Address {get;set} } public class Garage { public string Company {get;set} public string Name {get;set} public string Address {get;set} } </code></pre> <p>and so on...</p> <p>I want to get a list of the properties with a prefix:</p> <pre><code>public Class Simple { public class Prop { public string Name{get;set;} public string Value{get;set;} } public ICollection list = new List&lt;Prop&gt;(); //set all prop public void GetPropertiesWithPrefix(Garage mygarage, string prefix) { list.Add(new Prop{Name = prefix + "_Company", Value = mygarage.Company}); //so on... upto 50 props... } } //to get this list I can simple call the list property on the Simple class </code></pre> <p>When reading each field I am using a switch statement and setting the value.</p> <pre><code>//Note I return a collection of Prop that have new values set within the view,lets say //this is a result returned from a controller with the existing prop names and new values... public MyGarage SetValuesForGarage(MyGarage mygarage, string prefix, ICollection&lt;Prop&gt; _props) { foreach (var item in _prop) { switch(item.Name) { case prefix + "Company": mygarage.Company = item.Value; break; //so on for each property... } } } </code></pre> <p>Is there a better, simpler or more elegant way to do this with linq or otherwise?</p>
