You will have to use "using System.Reflection;" in your file as reference. PropertyInfo is a predefined class under that.

@Ruchi,

As you mentioned that "
var _obj = new yourclass();
string value = "5.5";
PropertyInfo propertyInfo = yourobject.GetType().GetProperty("yourproperty");
propertyInfo.SetValue(yourobject, value, null);
"
can we access property value like

var _obj = new yourclass();

string value = "5.5";
PropertyInfo propertyInfo = yourobject.GetType().GetProperty("FirstName");
propertyInfo.SetValue(yourobject, value, null);
"
_obj.FirstName ?

I hope you understand that.

@Ruchi Thanks for sharing but propertyinfo is predefined class or user defined class?

For all properties:
var _obj = new yourclass();
                foreach (PropertyInfo propertyInfo in _obj.GetType().GetProperties())
                {
                    string propname = propertyInfo.Name;
                    propertyInfo.SetValue(_obj, yourvalue);

                }
For specific:
string value = "5.5";
PropertyInfo propertyInfo = yourobject.GetType().GetProperty("yourproperty");
propertyInfo.SetValue(yourobject, value, null);
