Retrieving Property name from lambda expression

Question

Is there a better way to get the Property name when passed in via a lambda expression? Here is what i currently have.

eg.

GetSortingInfo

I leave this function if you want to get multiples fields:

/// 

    /// Get properties separated by , (Ex: to invoke 'd => new { d.FirstName, d.LastName }')
    /// 
    /// 
    /// 
    /// 
    public static string GetFields(Expression> exp)
    {
        MemberExpression body = exp.Body as MemberExpression;
        var fields = new List();
        if (body == null)
        {
            NewExpression ubody = exp.Body as NewExpression;
            if (ubody != null)
                foreach (var arg in ubody.Arguments)
                {
                    fields.Add((arg as MemberExpression).Member.Name);
                }
        }

        return string.Join(",", fields);
    }
