All,

I've been trying to figure out a way to set my class variables dynamically
as I loop through a set of variables that vary for each user I return.
Essentially I want to do what Javascript allows you to do with the eval()
function but can't seem to find it's equivalent in VB.Net. However, my
other thought was that I could set the variable by passing the variable name
and the variable value and setting it with a public method in the class.
Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:

Dim USER_PROPS As New ADSUSER_PROPERTIES()
USER_PROPS.setProperty("displayname", "THOMAS FULLER")

Public Class ADSUSER_PROPERTIES

Public displayname As String

Public Sub setProperty(ByVal propName As String, ByVal propValue As
String)
propName = propValue
End Sub

End Class

This code does not work can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks All,

Tom Fuller
