SetValue in reflection returning object does not match target type

Question

I am looping through a class with multiple properties and am searching for any textboxes that have the same ID. If there is a match then I want to update the property value to that of the textbox value, but I am getting this error:

Object does not match target type

This is the code:

foreach (var prop in contactInfo.GetType().GetProperties())                    
{                        
    var ctrl = WizardCampaign.FindControl(prop.Name) ?? Page.Master.FindControl(prop.Name);        

    if (ctrl != null)
    {
        if (ctrl.GetType() == typeof(TextBox))
        {
            var r = (TextBox)ctrl;                                                                                                                                                                                             
            prop.SetValue(prop, r.Text, null);                                
        }
    }
}

Look here:

prop.SetValue(prop, r.Text, null);

SetValue is supposed to take the object you want to change as the first parameter, but you are passing the PropertyInfo object. I believe your actual code should be:

prop.SetValue(contactInfo, r.Text, null);
