Getting and setting properties C# with Example

Basic usage: 
PropertyInfo prop = myInstance.GetType().GetProperty("myProperty"); 
// get the value myInstance.myProperty 
object value = prop.GetValue(myInstance); 
int newValue = 1; 
// set the value myInstance.myProperty to newValue 
prop.setValue(myInstance, newValue); 
Setting read-only automatically-implemented properties can be done through it's backing field (in .NET Framework 
name of backing field is "k BackingField"): 
// get backing field info 
FieldInfo fieldInfo = myInstance.GetType() 
.GetField("k BackingField", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic); 
int newValue = 1; 
// set the value of myInstance.myProperty backing field to newValue 
fieldInfo.SetValue(myInstance, newValue);
