C# 6: nameof() current property in getter/setter
It can't be done with nameof
, but there's an even better way (available since C# 5). You can make the propertyName
parameter optional and apply the CallerMemberName
attribute to it:
protected void Set<T>(T value, [CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
...
}
protected T Get<T>([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)
{
...
}
Now if you omit the argument for propertyName
, the current member name is passed implicitly:
public string MyProperty
{
get { return base.Get<string>(); } // same as calling Get<string>("MyProperty")
set { base.Set<string>(value); } // same as calling Set<string>(value, "MyProperty")
}
