How to get the value of: MyObject.Property1 by name. Use reflection?

Reflection is what you want, but is a bit more involved than your code... The documentation is pretty good on this, as are articles on codeProject or other sites.
/* assume obj is an object of type MyClass */ Type type = Type.GetType("MyClass");
PropertyInfo property = type.GetProperty("FontType");
property.SetValue( obj, 10, null );
Int32 value = (Int32)property.GetValue( obj, null );
Debug.Assert( value == 10 );
