Using reflection to access and modify field values

[samhng@gmail.com]

Hi,
Suppose I have a class:
public class Test
{
public string a;
public int b;
}
Now I want to access the value of variable a of the instance of the
class Test (@_@).
public class App
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Test test = new Test();
test.a = "hello";
test.b = 3;

printValue(t, "a"); //print out the value of field a
}

public void printValue(obje ct obj, string fieldName)
{
// print out the value of the given field name
}
}
My question is what to do in the method printValue(obje ct, string)? Thx!

public void printValue(obje ct obj, string fieldName)
{

FieldInfo fi = obj.GetType().G etField(fieldNa me);

string result = (string) fi.GetValue(obj );

Console.WriteLi ne(result);
}

But you do realise that reflection is slower than accessing properties and
fields directly ?
