Examples

    {
        private static void Main()
        {
            var c = new TestClass();
            // set the private field, _field
            c.SetValue("_field",10);

            // now get its value.
            var val = (int)c.GetValue("_field");
            Console.WriteLine(val);

            // Now set a private property with a backing field.
            c.SetValue("PrivateProperty",20);

            // Now call a private helper method that returns the value from the backing field.
            val = c.Invoke<int>("InternalGetField");
            Console.WriteLine(val);

Special Thanks To

Scrutor inspired the technique I'm using for finding implementations of specific types as well as a couple of other handy utility methods.
