Yes, you are right. In the basic example I used for illustration, it
wouldn't be necessary. However, in my program, where I need to create some
sql statements based on user selection, query the sqlite database and
generate a report in Excel, it would be very useful. I will take a look at
reflection and see what I can come up with.
Thanks for the help! I just didn't even know what terminology to use and my
Google searches, as a result, were not proving fruitful.

If you absolutely need to do this, which I question the need of in this
example, the methodology you wish to use is called reflection, if you look
up reflection you'll get exactly what you'd like.
Take care,
Sina

Hi Listers,
Please bare with me while I attempt to explain what I want to do.
I want to build a string that has a variable name inside it. Then, I want
to send that string to a function which will recognise the variable name,
embedded din the string, and replace it with its value. Is this possible?
By way of an illustration:
private void stuff()
{
string firstname;
string lastname;
string result;
result = buildString();
MessageBox.Show(result.ToString());
}
private string buildString()
{
return "Here is the string with the two variables - firstname and lastname";
}
I also tried putting {} around the variable name but, as expected that
didn't work. Any suggestions on an elegant solution?
Thx,
Jeff
