How do you get the name of the property from the property itself

for example theres a property Myproperty and i want to get Name of Myproperty from the property Myproperty, something like Myproperty.Name will give you Myproperty as string.

Answer 1

If you have a PropertyInfo, just reference the Name property.

If you're looking for something more specific we'll need some additional clarification in your question.

Answer 2

Take a look at How to get C# property names without magic strings

public static string GetPropertyName<T, TReturn>(Expression<Func<T, TReturn>> expression)

 MemberExpression body = (MemberExpression)expression.Body;
 return body.Member.Name;
}

...

string name = ReflectionUtility.GetPropertyName((Sample2 s) => s.Foo);

Answer 3

string propertyName = typeof(ClassName).GetProperty("MyProperty").Name;
