Simplest C# code to poll a property?

Question

I would like to know the simplest code for polling a property\'s value, to execute the code in its getter.
Currently I\'m using: instance.property.ToString();

I like Jon Skeet's answer, but along the same vein, this would also work without having to write an extension method:

GC.KeepAlive(instance.SomeProperty);

The KeepAlive method accepts an object and does nothing with it, like the NoOp extension method.
