How to mapping value with identifier and variable value in C#

How to mapping value with identifier and variable value in C#

public class Table1
{
     public string FIELD1 { get; set; }
     public string FIELD2 { get; set; }
     public string FIELD3 { get; set; }
}

maps FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3,...,FIELDxx to class Animal that Name is FIELD1,FIELD2,FIELD3,...,FIELDxx

public class Animal
{
     public string Name { get; set; }
     public string Value { get; set; }
}

List<Animal> a = new List<Animal>();
a.Add(new Animal(){
     Name = "FIELD1",
     Value = "Elephant"
});

Keith's answer already shows the direction. Here's the code for your specific question:

var t = new Table1() 
{
    FIELD1 = "Elephant",
    FIELD2 = "Cat",
    FIELD3 = "Dog",
};
List<Animal> a = new List<Animal>();

foreach(var prop in t.GetType().GetProperties().Where(p => p.Name.StartsWith("FIELD")))
{
    a.Add(new Animal()
    {
        Name = prop.Name,
        Value = (string)prop.GetValue(t)
    });
}

C# Dictionary can be used to maintain collection for this mapping purpose. In dictionary, for the case given,

var t = new Table1();
Animal a = new Animal();

Dictionary<string, string> idVarMap = new Dictionary<string, string>();
idVarMap.Add(t.FIELD1,a.Value);

Then the value can be retrieved as:

if (idVarMap.ContainsKey(t.FIELD1))
{
    int value = idVarMap[t.FIELD1];
    Console.WriteLine(value);
}

Is this way helpful? Or you are looking for other approach?

Something like this?

var t = new Table1();

foreach(var animal in a)
{
  t.GetType().GetProperty(animal.Name).SetValue(t, animal.Value);
}
