Thanks for the posts above, they helped me to create a strong type binding system for MVC 4 HTMLHelpers as follows.

 public static MvcHtmlString StrongTypeBinder(this HtmlHelper htmlhelper, Expression<Func<object, string>> SomeLambda)
    {
        var body = SomeLambda.Body;
        var propertyName = ((PropertyInfo)((MemberExpression)body).Member).Name;
        HtmlString = @"
            <input type='text' name='@Id' id='@Id'/>
            ";
        HtmlString = HtmlString.Replace("@Id", propertyName);
        var finalstring = new MvcHtmlString(HtmlString);
        return finalstring;

    }

To use the code above in any CSHTML View:

@Html.StrongTypeBinder(p=>Model.SelectedDate)

This allows me to bind any property in a ViewModel to any HTML element type I want. In the example above, I an binding the name field for the selected data posted back after user makes selection. The viewmodel after the post back automatically shows the selected value.

You could look at the ReflectedType of the MethodBase you get from GetCurrentMethod, i.e.,

MethodBase method = System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod();
string methodName = method.Name;
string className = method.ReflectedType.Name;

string fullMethodName = className + "." + methodName;
