how to increment object property name in a loop

in my list of objects i have few similar properties.

week1 week2 week3 week4 week5 ...

I would like to be able to display them in a table based on the selected number of weeks by the user.

My idea was to use the loop like below, but i can't add "i" to the @data.week#number

  @for (var i = 0; i < Model.numberOfWeeks; i++)
                        {
                      <td>@[email protected]</td>
                        }

Is there a way i can use the incrementation of "i" to add it to the object name ?

Why do you have properties as values? Anyhow, if you really need to iterate properties and output their values you can try to use reflection:

 <td>@(data.GetType().GetProperty("week" + i).GetValue(data, null))</td>

But this is a bad practice. I would strongly recommend to change your data object and a view model.

You can't use variables to construct variable names. The names must remain static. If you really need that there is reflection, but that is not the best option.

Use a dictionary or list instead, so that @data.weeks[@i].name would work.
