I have a static class:public static class ConfigurationDetails{    public static string SharepointServer { get; set; }    public static string Username { get; set; }    public static string Password { get; set; }    public static string SharepointDomain { get; set; }    public static string ServiceLibrary { get; set; }    public static string SqlServer { get; set; }    public static string SQLUsername { get; set; }    public static string SQLPassword { get; set; }    public static string SQLDomain { get; set; }}which needs to be updated from the values of a dictionary.Using if the code is below:var configValues = ReadConfiguration();if (configValues.ContainsKey(SharepointServer)){    ConfigurationDetails.SharepointServer = configValues[SharepointServer];}if (configValues.ContainsKey(ServiceLibrary)){    ConfigurationDetails.ServiceLibrary = configValues[ServiceLibrary];}if (configValues.ContainsKey(Username)){    ConfigurationDetails.Username = configValues[Username];}if (configValues.ContainsKey(Password)){    ConfigurationDetails.Password= configValues[Password];}Now this will do the job, but there would be a lot of ifs. I've tried with LINQ, but this is the closest I've gotten:configValues.Where(kv => kv.Key == SharepointServer).ToList().ForEach(kv => ConfigurationDetails.SharepointServer = kv.Value);and it's not doing any good. Any other ideas, please?

One solution would be to encapsulate the logic into a method. A problem with that is that there is no simple way to pass a property to the method.If the case where the key is not in the dictionary means that the value is null, then you could write an extension method for IDictionary that returns the value, if it's present, or null:public static string GetValueOrDefault(this IDictionary<string, string> dict, string key){    string result;    dict.TryGetValue(key, out result);    return result;}You would then use it like this:ConfigurationDetails.SharepointServer = configValues.GetValueOrDefault(SharepointServer);Another option (assuming the names of properties and keys always match) would be to use reflection to set all the properties at the same time. Something like:var properties = typeof(ConfigurationDetails).Getproperties();foreach (var property in properties){    string value;    if (configValues.TryGetValue(property.Name, out value))    {        property.SetValue(null, value);    }}
