    <p>C# is a statically typed language. The compiler wants to know you property you mean <em>at compile time</em>.</p> <p>However, you can do this with reflection if you want to. Alternatively, if you know the type of the data in advance, you could use a switch statement. (Example of both approaches coming.)</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Reflection; public class Demo { public string Foo { get; set; } public string Bar { get; set; } public string Baz { get; set; } } public class Test { static void Main() { Demo demo = new Demo { Foo = "foo value", Bar = "bar value", Baz = "surprise!" }; ShowProperty(demo, "Foo"); ShowProperty(demo, "Bar"); ShowProperty(demo, "Baz"); ShowDemoProperty(demo, "Foo"); ShowDemoProperty(demo, "Bar"); ShowDemoProperty(demo, "Baz"); } // Here we don't know the type involved, so we have to use reflection static void ShowProperty(object x, string propName) { PropertyInfo property = x.GetType().GetProperty(propName); if (property == null) { Console.WriteLine("No such property: {0}", propName); } else { Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", propName, property.GetValue(x, null)); } } // Here we *know* it's a Demo static void ShowDemoProperty(Demo demo, string propName) { string value; // Note that this is very refactoring-unfriendly. Generally icky! switch (propName) { case "Foo": value = demo.Foo; break; case "Bar": value = demo.Bar; break; case "Baz": value = demo.Baz; break; default: Console.WriteLine("No such property: {0}", propName); return; } Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", propName, value); } } </code></pre> <p>I agree with the other answers which suggest this probably shows a slightly scary design...</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
