Using My.Settings with a variable

I am currently using My.Settings properties to save user generated settings for button controls. However, with 20 buttons per form, I'm writing a lot of code. Is there a way to pass a My.Settings property name as a variable and have it read by a method? For example:

Code:

Public Sub GetInput (ByVal propertyName As String)
 
  My.Settings.[propertyName] = someValue
 
End Sub

Well, I finally found the solution. I feel kind of stupid now as well. The way to do it is:

Code:

Public Sub GetInput (ByVal propertyName As String)
 
  My.Settings.Item(propertyName) = someValue
 
End Sub
