Here's an example for fields, using FieldInfo.GetValue:

using System;
using System.Reflection;

public class Test
{
    // public just for the sake of a short example.
    public int x;

    static void Main()
    {
        FieldInfo field = typeof(Test).GetField("x");
        Test t = new Test();
        t.x = 10;

        Console.WriteLine(field.GetValue(t));
    }
}

Similar code will work for properties using PropertyInfo.GetValue() - although there you also need to pass the values for any parameters to the properties. (There won't be any for "normal" C# properties, but C# indexers count as properties too as far as the framework is concerned.) For methods, you'll need to call Invoke if you want to call the method and use the return value.
