Answer 1

Edit:

I first misunderstood your answer, but now I see (thx Gserg) that you wish to find a variable based on the name. In C# you have to do this via reflection. See the following code snippet, and make sure that you have referenced System.Reflection.

MyNamespace.MyClass cls = new MyNamespace.MyClass();
FieldInfo fi = cls.GetType().GetField("FieldName");
string value = (string)(fi.GetValue(null, null));
Console.Out.WriteLine(value);

Here I look up the field "FieldName" in that class and then I return the value of the field

See also the MSDN page for GetFieldhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.type.getfield(v=vs.71).aspx

Answer 2

You can not.
Reflection can't return name of local variable, only type and index.

Therefore, it's easiest to have a dictionary:

var d = new Dictionary<string, string>();
d.Add("b", "helo");

MessageBox.Show(d["b"]);

In C++ it is impossible . In C# it may be possible due to reflection (but I am not sure how).
