Andrus,

I guess Rocky's class needs a little more ooomph. <g>

After a little experimenting, this works:

   PropertyInfo propertyInfo =
       target.GetType().GetProperty(propertyName, System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | 
                        System.Reflection.BindingFlags.IgnoreCase | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Public)

Apparently you need *all* the BindingFlags ... just the IgnoreCase by itself doesn't work.
