So say I have the following class I created...

Code

Public Class House
    Public Property Door As String
    Public Property Roof As String
    Public Property Window As String
End Class

What if I wanted to add another property to that Class, like Window2 during runtime, is it possible?

Something like, House.AddProperty("Window2", String)

You'd be better off just making like a Dictionary<string, string> and adding like this myProperties.Add("window", "whatever value"); instead of trying to edit it at runtime.

This is much better! Thank you

You can also achieve this by using custom dynamic types in certain scenarios
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/...work-4.7.2
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/...m_Object__

Or you can use 3rd party pacages

Code

public class House:Westwind.Utilities.Expando
    {
        public string Door { get; set; }
        public string Roof { get; set; }
        public string Window { get; set; }

        public House():base()
        {
        }

        public House(object instance):base(instance)
        {
        }
    }

Code

class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            dynamic myHouse = new ExpandoObject();

            myHouse.Door = "1";
            myHouse.Window = "white trim 49x49";

            Console.WriteLine(myHouse.Window);

            var house = new House();

            house.Door = "1";
            house.Roof = "big red";
            house.Window = "white trim 48x48";
            //One way to add
            house["Window1"]= "white trim 49x49";
            //Second way to add
            dynamic add = house;
            add.Windows2 = "white trim 50x50";          

            Console.WriteLine(house.Door);
            Console.WriteLine(house.Roof);
            Console.WriteLine(house.Window);
            Console.WriteLine(house["Window1"]);
            Console.WriteLine(add.Windows2);
            Console.ReadLine();

        }
    }

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll save it for future reference but for now, I'd like to use as little 3rd party tools as possible if I can. I forget its there sometimes xD
