I would like to get property name when I\'m in it via reflection mechanism. Is it possible?
Update: I have code like this:
public CarType Car
var a = nameof(SampleMethod); //a == SampleMethod
var b = nameof(SampleVariable); //b == SampleVariable
var c = nameof(SampleProperty); //c == SampleProperty
MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name; // Name of method in which you call the code
MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name.Replace("set_", "").Replace("get_", ""); // current Property
from StackTrace:
public static class Props
{
public static string CurrPropName =>
(new StackTrace()).GetFrame(1).GetMethod().Name.Replace("set_", "").Replace("get_", "");
public static string CurrMethodName =>
(new StackTrace()).GetFrame(1).GetMethod().Name;
}
you just need to call Props.CurrPropName
or Props.CurrMethodName
Solution for .NET 4.5+:
public static class Props
{
public static string GetCallerName([System.Runtime.CompilerServices.CallerMemberName] String propertyName = "")
{
return propertyName;
}
}
usgae: Props.GetCallerName();
