Luca, I am going to take a small liberty and rephrase your question for you and then hopefully answer it. So I could be one right or twice wrong..

Hi, I would like to get the value of a an object's property using a string key, similar to

var id=model["ModelId"];.

Is this possible?

to which would answer:

One way is to use the Reflection api.

model.GetType().GetProperty("ModelId").GetValue(model,null);
