I have a structure "xyz" with 3 string objects in it. "foo" "bar" and "abc" I want to iterate through the structure and compare the names of the objects.
Structure xyz
dim foo as string
dim bar as string
dim abc as string
End Structure
Pseudo:
For each x as object in xyz
if x.Name = "foo" then
'bang
end if
End each
Is this possible?
If this is just a one time thing you're probably going to have an easier time using a Dictionary instead, but you could do this with Reflection if you prefer to keep the structure.
This little code snippet will list out each structure member for you in a StringBuilder
.
Dim sbOutput As New System.Text.StringBuilder
Dim t As Type = GetType(xyz)
For Each p As System.Reflection.FieldInfo In t.GetFields()
sbOutput.AppendLine(p.Name)
