现在在c# 6中，你可以简单地使用这样的nameof(User.UserId)

这有很多好处，其中之一是这是在编译时完成的，而不是在运行时。

当涉及到Array.Length时，有一个边缘情况。虽然'Length'被公开为属性，但您不能在任何前面提出的解决方案中使用它。

using Contract = System.Diagnostics.Contracts.Contract;
using Exprs = System.Linq.Expressions;

static string PropertyNameFromMemberExpr(Exprs.MemberExpression expr)
{
    return expr.Member.Name;
}

static string PropertyNameFromUnaryExpr(Exprs.UnaryExpression expr)
{
    if (expr.NodeType == Exprs.ExpressionType.ArrayLength)
        return "Length";

    var mem_expr = expr.Operand as Exprs.MemberExpression;

    return PropertyNameFromMemberExpr(mem_expr);
}

static string PropertyNameFromLambdaExpr(Exprs.LambdaExpression expr)
{
         if (expr.Body is Exprs.MemberExpression)   return PropertyNameFromMemberExpr(expr.Body as Exprs.MemberExpression);
    else if (expr.Body is Exprs.UnaryExpression)    return PropertyNameFromUnaryExpr(expr.Body as Exprs.UnaryExpression);

    throw new NotSupportedException();
}

public static string PropertyNameFromExpr<TProp>(Exprs.Expression<Func<TProp>> expr)
{
    Contract.Requires<ArgumentNullException>(expr != null);
    Contract.Requires<ArgumentException>(expr.Body is Exprs.MemberExpression || expr.Body is Exprs.UnaryExpression);

    return PropertyNameFromLambdaExpr(expr);
}

public static string PropertyNameFromExpr<T, TProp>(Exprs.Expression<Func<T, TProp>> expr)
{
    Contract.Requires<ArgumentNullException>(expr != null);
    Contract.Requires<ArgumentException>(expr.Body is Exprs.MemberExpression || expr.Body is Exprs.UnaryExpression);

    return PropertyNameFromLambdaExpr(expr);
}

现在看用法示例:

int[] someArray = new int[1];
Console.WriteLine(PropertyNameFromExpr( () => someArray.Length ));

如果PropertyNameFromUnaryExpr没有检查ArrayLength， "someArray"将被打印到控制台(编译器似乎生成了对支持Length字段的直接访问，作为优化，甚至在调试中，因此是特殊情况)。

这可能是最优的

public static string GetPropertyName<TResult>(Expression<Func<TResult>> expr)
{
    var memberAccess = expr.Body as MemberExpression;
    var propertyInfo = memberAccess?.Member as PropertyInfo;
    var propertyName = propertyInfo?.Name;

    return propertyName;
}

我最近做了一件非常类似的事情来创建一个类型安全的OnPropertyChanged方法。

下面是一个方法，它将返回表达式的PropertyInfo对象。如果表达式不是属性，则抛出异常。

public PropertyInfo GetPropertyInfo<TSource, TProperty>(
    TSource source,
    Expression<Func<TSource, TProperty>> propertyLambda)
{
    Type type = typeof(TSource);

    MemberExpression member = propertyLambda.Body as MemberExpression;
    if (member == null)
        throw new ArgumentException(string.Format(
            "Expression '{0}' refers to a method, not a property.",
            propertyLambda.ToString()));

    PropertyInfo propInfo = member.Member as PropertyInfo;
    if (propInfo == null)
        throw new ArgumentException(string.Format(
            "Expression '{0}' refers to a field, not a property.",
            propertyLambda.ToString()));

    if (type != propInfo.ReflectedType &&
        !type.IsSubclassOf(propInfo.ReflectedType))
        throw new ArgumentException(string.Format(
            "Expression '{0}' refers to a property that is not from type {1}.",
            propertyLambda.ToString(),
            type));

    return propInfo;
}

使用源参数，编译器可以对方法调用进行类型推断。您可以执行以下操作

var propertyInfo = GetPropertyInfo(someUserObject, u => u.UserID);

我已经更新了@Cameron的回答，包括一些针对转换类型lambda表达式的安全检查:

PropertyInfo GetPropertyName<TSource, TProperty>(
Expression<Func<TSource, TProperty>> propertyLambda)
{
  var body = propertyLambda.Body;
  if (!(body is MemberExpression member)
    && !(body is UnaryExpression unary
      && (member = unary.Operand as MemberExpression) != null))
    throw new ArgumentException($"Expression '{propertyLambda}' " +
      "does not refer to a property.");

  if (!(member.Member is PropertyInfo propInfo))
    throw new ArgumentException($"Expression '{propertyLambda}' " +
      "refers to a field, not a property.");

  var type = typeof(TSource);
  if (!propInfo.DeclaringType.GetTypeInfo().IsAssignableFrom(type.GetTypeInfo()))
    throw new ArgumentException($"Expresion '{propertyLambda}' " + 
      "refers to a property that is not from type '{type}'.");

  return propInfo;
}

getpropertyaccess()是可用的，如果你可以引用efcore。

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Infrastructure;

var propertyInfo = lambda.GetPropetyAccess(); //PropertyInfo
var propertyName = propertyInfo.Name;
