this my class:

C#

public partial class DaysLast       
      {      
        public Nullable<int> DAY10 { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> DAY11 { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> DAY12 { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> DAY13 { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> DAY14 { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> DAY15 { get; set; }
        public Nullable<int> DAY16 { get; set; }      
      }


    DaysLast Prod = new DaysLast();  
    for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)               
            {
     if (test1.date==test2.date){

      Prod[i]=test2[i].Hour
     }

    }

My question is can we change dynamically property name. So that i will have value

C#

{DAY10 =5,Day11=2, Day12=null,....}
or   {DAY7 =5,Day8=2, Day10=2,....}

I tried to used dynamic flexible = new System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject();
but work with values and property name didn't changed.

C#

dynamic flexible = new System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject(); 
             flexible.DAY00 =test2[i].Hour

What I have tried:

Changing propertynames? NAFAIK. But, maybe if you tell us a bit more about why you would like to have this ability, we can help you find a suitable way to do just that.

Why do you think that would be a good idea?
What are you trying to do that you think that would be necessary and helpful?

This required for my project.That's why i am thinking like this

It may be required but what is the justification? What will changing the property names accomplish? What problem will it solve?

If you insist on wanting to "change the property name (which I personally think is a TERRIBLE idea), just create a couple of getter/setter extension method that does what you want:

C#

public static int MyRenamedProperty(this MyObject obj)
{
    return obj.DAY10;
}

public static void MyRenamedProperty(this MyObject obj, int value)
{
    obj.DAY10 = value;
}

Note that this is just a suggestion, and may or may not represent your best option, and that I don't care either way.
