How to retrieve a property from a class using a variable as the name?

[Joche]

This is more a C question than an iPhone question I guess. I have a class with a bunch of properties, they are all either @synthezised or have proper setters/getters.

Now I need to retrieve that value in them by using a dynamic name.
I just can't figure out how to do it.

Pseudocode:

MyClass{

NSString *firstName;
NSString *lastName;

}

CallerClass {
MyClass myClass = [MyClass alloc];
NSString propertyName = @"firstname";

// NEED HELP HERE:
NSString theValue = myClass.getByWhateverTheMethodIsCalled(propertyNam e);


}
