Is it possible to name a variable using a method in c#?
-4
I'm working on a project inspired by Python's argparse module that basically enables you to parse command-line arguments like the python module does. But i need to name a variable using a function for example:
NameVariable(name: "testVariable", type: string, value: "I am a string!");
Console.WriteLine(testVariable);
Output would be: I am a string!
Is there a way to do this if so
please let me know thanks.

You could also easily create aVariable<T>class, where T would represent the return type, and you could also have astringfield for the "name". However, I'm curious as to why you want to do this.

What you will need to use to do this is the System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject class.
using System;
using System.Dynamic;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Program
public static void Main()
var args = "--Bar --Foo MyStuff".Split();
var parsedArgs = ParseArgs(args);
Console.WriteLine(parsedArgs.Foo); //Writes "MyStuff"
Console.WriteLine(parsedArgs.Bar); //Writes true;
Console.WriteLine(parsedArgs.NotDefined); //Throws run time exception.
public static dynamic ParseArgs(string args)
IDictionary<string,object> result = new ExpandoObject();
//Very basic implementation
for(int i = 0; i < args.Length; i++)
if(args[i].StartsWith("--"))
if(i+1 < args.Length && !args[i+1].StartsWith("--"))
result.Add(args[i].Substring(2), args[i+1]);
else
result.Add(args[i].Substring(2), true);
return result;
Run Example
Also here is a tutorial on dynamic objects, it is about making .net work with python code which you may find interesting.

@RanOutOfQuestions It seems like a classic XY question: you're asking for help with your solution rather than asking how to solve your problem. If you describe your problem, you may find a better way to solve it.
