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

Well, this is similar in tone to Hangy's solution, but is I think rather comfortable to use and does not require much magic:

public static Binding CreateTextBinding(this T source, Expression> access)
{
    var mex = access.Body as MemberExpression;
    string name = mex.Member.Name;
    return new Binding("Text", source, name);
}

This is basically an extension method that can be called on any object acting as source. It gives you back a Binding for a Text property which you can add to any Bindings collection.
