INotifyPropertyChanged property name - hardcode vs reflection?

Question

What is the best way to specify a property name when using INotifyPropertyChanged?

Most examples hardcode the property name as an argument on the PropertyChanged E

Answer 1

In .NET 4.5 (C# 5.0) there is a new attribute called - CallerMemberName it helps avoid hardcoded property names preventing the onset of bugs if developers decide to change a property name, here's an example:

public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged = delegate { };

public void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName]string propertyName="")
{
    PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
}

private string name;
public string Name
{
    get { return name; }
    set 
    { 
        name = value;
        OnPropertyChanged();
    }
}
