[Solved] Is it possible to name a variable using a method in c#?

by


What you will need to use to do this is the System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject class.

using System;
using System.Dynamic;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        var args = "--Bar --Foo MyStuff".Split();
        var parsedArgs = ParseArgs(args);
        Console.WriteLine(parsedArgs.Foo); //Writes "MyStuff"
        Console.WriteLine(parsedArgs.Bar); //Writes true;
        Console.WriteLine(parsedArgs.NotDefined); //Throws run time exception.
    }

    public static dynamic ParseArgs(string[] args)
    {
        IDictionary<string,object> result = new ExpandoObject();
        //Very basic implementation
        for(int i = 0; i < args.Length; i++)
        {
            if(args[i].StartsWith("--"))
            {
                if(i+1 < args.Length && !args[i+1].StartsWith("--"))
                {
                    result.Add(args[i].Substring(2), args[i+1]);
                }
                else
                {
                    result.Add(args[i].Substring(2), true);
                }
            }
        }
        return result;
    }
}

Also here is a tutorial on dynamic objects, it is about making .net work with python code which you may find interesting.
