static object GetPropertyValue(object obj, string propertyName)
        {
            var objType = obj.GetType();
            var prop = objType.GetProperty(propertyName);

            return prop.GetValue(obj, null);
        }
        static void SetPropertyValue(object obj, string propertyName, int values)
        {
            var objType = obj.GetType();
            var prop = objType.GetProperty(propertyName);
            prop.SetValue(obj, values, null);

Type type = asm.GetType("person");

You can only pass type of the object in string format to the asm.GetType function. Another this is that where did you declare the asm object. if you didnt, then define it first.

The property Pdetails is not public, so your BindingFlags should be 

BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance

Also, see Joel Etherton's answer.

You have an extra space character in your property name. "Pdetails " is not the same as "Pdetails".

Class members are private by default. Make your properties public and it should work. Also, remove that extra space on the property string: "Pdetails".
