[Solved] Get property name in C# [closed]

by


This is working fine (I got the class below from http://satalketo.com/2013/10/avoid-magic-strings/) :
This class is the one that retrieve the names: 

public static class @string
    {
        private static string GetMemberName(Expression expression)
        {
            switch (expression.NodeType)
            {
                case ExpressionType.MemberAccess:
                    var memberExpression = (MemberExpression)expression;
                    var supername = GetMemberName(memberExpression.Expression);

                    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(supername))
                        return memberExpression.Member.Name;

                    return String.Concat(supername, '.', memberExpression.Member.Name);

                case ExpressionType.Call:
                    var callExpression = (MethodCallExpression)expression;
                    return callExpression.Method.Name;

                case ExpressionType.Convert:
                    var unaryExpression = (UnaryExpression)expression;
                    return GetMemberName(unaryExpression.Operand);

                case ExpressionType.Constant:
                case ExpressionType.Parameter:
                    return String.Empty;

                default:
                    throw new ArgumentException("The expression is not a member access or method call expression");
            }
        }

        public static string of<T>(Expression<Func<T>> expression)
        {
            return GetMemberName(expression.Body);
        }

        public static string of(Expression<Action> expression)
        {
            return GetMemberName(expression.Body);
        }

        public static string of<T>()
        {
            return typeof(T).Name;
        }
    }

Then I define the classes:

class A
{
public A()
{
B = new B();
}
public B B { get; set; }
}

class B
{
public B()
{
C = new C();
}
public C C { get; set; }
}

class C
{
public String Text { get; set; }
}

finally, I just call the function created at the begging

A a = new A();
Console.Write(@string.of(() => a.B.C.Text));

//This prints a.B.C.Text
