Get value of a public static field via reflection

You need to pass null to GetValue, since this field doesn't belong to any instance:

fields[0].GetValue(null)

You need to use Type.GetField(System.Reflection.BindingFlags) overload:

For example:

FieldInfo field = typeof(Settings.Lookup).GetField("Lookup", BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static);

Settings.Lookup lookup = (Settings.Lookup)field.GetValue(null);
