The modified version of GetValue method I just posted got chopped off it should be:
public object GetValue(object target, string propertyName)
{
if (propertyName.IndexOf(PropertyNameSeparator) > -1)
{
int index = -1;
string[] propertyList = propertyName.Split(PropertyNameSeparator);
for (int i = 0; i = 0)
{
var List = (IList) target;
if (index < List.Count)
{
target = List[index];
}
}
if (target == null)
{
return null;
}
}
return target;
}
else
{
return GetValueImpl(target, propertyName);
}
}

Notice it uses an extra method to test if a Type is a Generic List:

public static bool IsGenericList(Type type)
{
foreach (Type @interface in type.GetInterfaces())
{
if (@interface.IsGenericType)
{
if (@interface.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(ICollection))
{
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}

public object GetValue(object target, string propertyName)
{
if (propertyName.IndexOf(PropertyNameSeparator) > -1)
{
int index = -1;
string[] propertyList = propertyName.Split(PropertyNameSeparator);
for (int i = 0; i = 0)
{
IList list = (IList) target;
if (index < list.Count)
{
//Get the corresponding item in the list
target = list[index];
}
}
if (target == null)
{
return null;
}
}
return target;
}
else
{
return GetValueImpl(target, propertyName);
}
}
An example of the usage:

public class Store
{
public Store()
{
StringInstruments = new PluckedStrings();
}
public PluckedStrings StringInstruments { get; set; }
}

public class PluckedStrings
{
// Fields
private List guitars = new List();

// Properties
public List Guitars
{
get { return this.guitars; }
set { this.guitars = value; }
}
}

public class Guitar
{
public string Brand { get; set; }
}

And Finally we test it:
Store mystore = new Store();
Guitar lucille = new Guitar();
lucille.Brand = “Gibson”;
mystore.StringInstruments.Guitars.Add(lucille);
//Get the Brand value for Guitar Item at position 0, or any other index
object brand = pr.GetValue(mystore, “StringInstruments.Guitars[0].Brand”);

I hope this helps and thanks again for the post,
Adolfo
