Is there a C# equivalent of typeof for properties/methods/members?
- by David
A classes Type metadata can be obtained in several ways. Two of them are:
var typeInfo = Type.GetType("MyClass")
and
var typeInfo = typeof(MyClass)
The advantage of the second way is that typos will be caught by the compiler, and the IDE can understand what I'm talking about (allowing features like refactoring to work without silently breaking the code)
Does there exist an equivalent way of strongly referencing members/properties/methods for metadata and reflection? Can I replace:
var propertyInfo = typeof(MyClass).GetProperty("MyProperty")
with something like:
var propertyInfo = property(MyClass.MyProperty)
