Answer 1

Get private variable's value using Reflection:

var _barVariable = typeof(Foo).GetField("_bar", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).GetValue(objectForFooClass);

Set value for private variable using Reflection:

typeof(Foo).GetField("_bar", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance).SetValue(objectForFoocClass, "newValue");

Where objectForFooClass is a non null instance for the class type Foo.
