Use of string as an existing variable in c#

Question

string one = "find";
combobox1.text = "one";

I want to use "one" i.e string value of (combobox1.text) as an existing variable string one. Is this possible?

All you still didn't getting my question. I want to use value of combobox1.text that is one and one that is variable string and it value is find. so i want to use variable one's value indirectly.

Very similar to stackoverflow.com/questions/1293549/string-to-variable-name and several others like it. Bundle your string variables into a class and either use Reflection technique or GetProperty. (Not putting this as an answer since I think this question should be closed) — nicholas

You cannot do it for local variables like this. For member fields you can use reflection; for locals, the simplest approach is to use Dictionary, for example, like this:

IDictionary<string,string> vars = new Dictionary<string,string> {
    {"one", "find"}
,   {"two", "cancel"}
};

combobox1.text = vars["one"];

no you didn't understand my question. I want to use combobox1.text's value that is one and one's value that is find.

you want to add to your combobox the word "find" located in the variable one, right?
