Why is there not a `fieldof` or `methodof` operator in C#? [closed]

Answer 1

@280Z28 - We were just sitting down to figure out how to do this when I found your question & code. We needed a PropertyOf method so I added it. Here it is in case anybody else needs it. Thx for the great question.

     public static PropertyInfo PropertyOf(Expression> expression)
    {
        MemberExpression body = (MemberExpression)expression.Body;
        PropertyInfo pi = body.Member as PropertyInfo;
        if (pi != null)
        {
            return pi;
        }
        else throw new ArgumentException("Lambda must be a Property.");
    } 

      [TestMethod()]
    public void MethodofPropertyOfTest()
    {

        string foo = "Jamming";
        MethodInfo method1 = ReflectionHelper.Methodof(() => default(string).ToString());
        PropertyInfo prop = ReflectionHelper.PropertyOf(() => default(string).Length);
        Assert.AreEqual(method1.Invoke(foo, null), "Jamming");
        Assert.AreEqual(prop.GetGetMethod().Invoke(foo, null), foo.Length);
    }
