How can I get object instance from ()=>foo.Title expression

Question

I have a simple class with a property

class Foo 
{ 
    string Title { get; set; } 
}

I am trying to simplify data binding by calling a fun

Answer 1

Something like the following should work:

void BindToText(Control control, Expression> property)
{
    var mex = property.Body as MemberExpression;
    string name = mex.Member.Name;

    var fooMember = mex.Expression as MemberExpression;
    var fooConstant = fooMember.Expression as ConstantExpression;
    var foo = fooConstant.Value;

    control.DataBindings.Add("Text", foo, name);
}

Let me know if that doesn't work for you.
