How RaisePropertyChanged finds out the property name?

Question

There is one overload of this method in NotificationObject :-

protected void RaisePropertyChanged(Expression> propertyE         


        

Answer 1

An Expression represents the abstract syntax tree of the lambda expression. So you just have to analyze this syntax tree to find out the property name:

protected void RaisePropertyChanged(Expression> propertyExpression)
{
    var memberExpr = propertyExpression.Body as MemberExpression;
    if (memberExpr == null)
        throw new ArgumentException("propertyExpression should represent access to a member");
    string memberName = memberExpr.Member.Name;
    RaisePropertyChanged(memberName);
}
