How do I set and get public fields from a instance of a object - C# [duplicate]

Question

I know that reflection can get the fields from a type. But I would like to get and set the fields of an instance of a object dynamicly. Is this possible?

If you know about reflection, can you please clarify exactly what it is you're asking about here? — Lasse V. Karlsen

@Jesse why do you keep mentioning a Web Software architecture? The question has nothing to do with Web. Also, even a 10 year old answer holds value, as long as it is still relevant (which it is) and answers the question (which it does). And, that's a lie, the most recent C# version released is C# 7.0 alongside Visual Studio 2017, C# 8.0 is not even close to release — MindSwipe

@Jesse if the answer is still the best answer to the question, why re-invent the wheel? — MindSwipe

GetField you want to set field from the instance then use SetValue method.

 obj1.GetType().GetField(name).SetValue(obj1,value);
