GET Collection By Type or String

Question

I am using reflection to dynamically generate forms in my application. When dealing with properties that have relationships I need to be able to dynamically call a collection.

How can I replace:

foreach (Customer c in Db.Customers)
{

}

With something like this:

foreach (dynamic d in Db["Customers"])
{

}

or like this

foreach (dynamic d in Db.typeof(Customer))
{

}

I was able to achieve this through the answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47910340/how-to-get-dbset-from-entity-name-in-ef-core-net-core-2-0 — Tom Crosman, Jun 10 '20 at 17:55

Would this work for you?

foreach (dynamic d in (DB.GetType().GetProperty("Customers")).GetValue(DB, null)){
}

In more understandable way

var propertyInfo = DB.GetType().GetProperty("Customers");
var value = propertyInfo.GetValue(DB, null);
