Need to retrieve values from list and assign value it to specific property

Can you share the code you used to create the List, and the class(es) involved?

You would use the Type.GetProperty Method.

class Employee
{
   string Eid;
   string Ename;
}

Type myType = typeof(Employee);
PropertyInfo myPropInfo = myType.GetProperty("Eid");
myPropInfo.SetValue();

The way you present your list make's it seem as if it is not a list but rather a JSON Object.  If this is the case, then you can use a library like Newtonsoft's JSON.NET to deserialize your object into the class object you specified; e.g. -

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System;
using System.Linq;

namespace EE_Q29123999
{
	class Program
	{
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			var data = "{\"Eid\":67, \"EName\":\"dyt\", \"DOB\":\"06/09/2017\", \"Sal\":6078}";
			var converted = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Record>(data);
			Console.WriteLine(converted);
			Console.ReadLine();
		}
	}

	class Record
	{
		public int Eid { get; set; }
		public string EName { get; set; }
		public DateTime DOB { get; set; }
		public decimal Sal { get; set; }

		public override string ToString()
		{
			return $"{{ {string.Join(", ", from prop in GetType().GetProperties() select $"{prop.Name}: {prop.GetValue(this, null)}")} }}";
		}
	}
}

Which produces the following output -If, however, it is not a JSON Object, then as Bill Prew stated, we will need more specifics about the creation of your list.

Here you go. I created a simple windows form application to test it out. When a button on the form is clicked, the method button1_Click is called and your list is created, populated, and then iterated through. I hope this helps. :)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public class ColumnData
{
    public int Eid { get; set; }
    public string EName { get; set; }
    public string DOB { get; set; }
}
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            List<ColumnData> DataItems = new List<ColumnData>();
            ColumnData myFirstRecord = new ColumnData();

            myFirstRecord.Eid = 67;
            myFirstRecord.EName = "Sal";
            myFirstRecord.DOB = "06/09/2017";

            DataItems.Add(myFirstRecord);

            ColumnData SecondRecord = new ColumnData();

            SecondRecord.Eid = 31;
            SecondRecord.EName = "Aair";
            SecondRecord.DOB = "07/09/1992";

            DataItems.Add(SecondRecord);

            int testEid = 0;
            string testName = string.Empty;
            string testDob = string.Empty;

            foreach (ColumnData obj in DataItems)
            {
                testEid = obj.Eid;
                testName = obj.EName;
                testDob = obj.DOB;
            }
        }
    }
