Eric,

You need to use GetField() since it's not a property. Also because default Reflection only retrieves public fields you either need to change the field to public or alternate use explicit binding flags to include non-public members like this:

Label loLabel = (Label) this.GetType().GetField("lblWelcome",BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public |BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(this);
