How get the control name in C#?

[sitajony]

Hello, today I'm searching for get the control name, apparently it return the control class but not his name...
How get the "propname" propriety directly in C#?

Thanks for your replies!

It's not clear exactly what you want to do and under what circumstances. However assuming that you want to access the propName property for an arbitrary control in a library at runtime then you can get it by reflection.

public string GetPropName(Control ctl)
{
  PropertyInfo pinfo = ctl.GetType().GetProperty("propName");
  return (string) pinfo.GetValue(ctl, null);
}

This will work both in the IDE and when compiled but remember that only intrinsic Basic4ppc controls have that property.

Yes, it's just for get a Basic4PPC control name from a library...
Now it works, thanks again!
