RE: Convert String to variable contained in string

The reason I am doing this approach to a problem is because I
don't know how to create a reference to a value type.

For example in C++:
int x = 10;
int *y = &x;

When I update x, I want to be able to see the change in y.

In C# because int is a value type when I say:
int x = 10;
int y = x;
it creates a copy of x and puts it in y.

Is there a way to do this without having to use unsafe construct?

It still would be useful to be able to get the value of a variable in a
string like

string varName = "MyClass.intvalue";
would like to get value of MyClass.intvalue.

So an answer to both issues would be really appreciated.
