Hi,
Reflection? Given that it's a property:

public void MyMethod()
     {
         PropertyInfo pi = this.GetType().GetProperty("EnableSomething");
         bool b = (bool)  pi.GetValue(this, null);
     }

(with a sprinkling of checking for nulls, etc :-}

>If I have a base class, and App level class, and several inherited classes but have added a property in the App Level classe, how can I get to it from the base? I have a reference to the class in the base
