Looping through class properties dynamically 1

[sensoukami]

Hello!

I apologize if this is the wrong place in the forum. I
wasnt sure where else to go, and I am in a screaming rush
(work pressure).

------------------------

I need to loop through the properties of a class, look at
those properties, and then "do stuff" depending on whether
or not the property is of type string.

Problem1:

I dont know how to loop through a class's properties. I
have done some digging, and "reflection"
and "PropertyInfo" seem to have what I need, and I have
been playing around, but I am kind of lost.

Problem2:

Once I can do that, how can I dynamically alter those
properties without just using the properties name?

Any general advice or tips would be huge.

Thanks,

Public Sub GetPropertiesDataType()

Dim prop As System.Reflection.PropertyInfo

For Each prop In Me.GetType.GetProperties()

If TypeOf prop= System.String Then
msgbox("This is a String!&quot

Next prop

End Sub

something of the sort will work,just play around a bit with the code

Ok, that basically works (except I had to do prop.PropertyType.FullName = "System.String&quot

Problem:

How can I now change the property values of the underlying object. I have tried a million and one things, but cant seem to do it.

This is only after a minute or so looking at this so if I'm way off the mark apologies but try what chmohan suggested and then to change the value use:

prop.SetValue =
