//Isnt there a way i can do Like when i search Controls (Controls.Find(...))

Maybe Reflection is what you need:

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {

        Player player = new Player();
        player.Name = "Foo";


        string valueOfName = typeof(Player).GetProperty("Name").GetValue(player).ToString();

        //valueOfName is now Foo

        typeof(Player).GetProperty("Name").SetValue(player, "Bar");
        //player.Name is now Bar
    }
}

class Player
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}
