你不能引用一个属性，但如果你的函数同时需要get和set访问，你可以传递一个定义了属性的类实例:

public class Property<T>
{
    public delegate T Get();
    public delegate void Set(T value);
    private Get get;
    private Set set;
    public T Value {
        get {
            return get();
        }
        set {
            set(value);
        }
    }
    public Property(Get get, Set set) {
        this.get = get;
        this.set = set;
    }
}

例子:

class Client
{
    private string workPhone; // this could still be a public property if desired
    public readonly Property<string> WorkPhone; // this could be created outside Client if using a regular public property
    public int AreaCode { get; set; }
    public Client() {
        WorkPhone = new Property<string>(
            delegate () { return workPhone; },
            delegate (string value) { workPhone = value; });
    }
}
class Usage
{
    public void PrependAreaCode(Property<string> phone, int areaCode) {
        phone.Value = areaCode.ToString() + "-" + phone.Value;
    }
    public void PrepareClientInfo(Client client) {
        PrependAreaCode(client.WorkPhone, client.AreaCode);
    }
}

如果函数在您的代码中，并且您可以修改它，那么接受的答案是好的。但有时你必须使用某个外部库中的对象和函数，你不能改变属性和函数定义。然后你可以使用一个临时变量。

var phone = Client.WorkPhone;
GetString(input, ref phone);
Client.WorkPhone = phone;

如果你想同时获取和设置属性，你可以在c# 7中使用这个:

GetString(
    inputString,
    (() => client.WorkPhone, x => client.WorkPhone = x))

void GetString(string inValue, (Func<string> get, Action<string> set) outValue)
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(outValue.get()))
    {
        outValue.set(inValue);
    }
}

您可以尝试做的是创建一个对象来保存属性值。这样，您可以传递对象，但仍然可以访问内部的属性。

看起来，您需要对该字段施加业务规则约束，同时又希望使您的代码尽可能地保持DRY。

它是可以实现的，也可以通过在字段上实现一个完整的属性并使用您的可重用方法来保存您的域语义:

public class Client
{
    private string workPhone;

    public string WorkPhone
    {
        get => workPhone;
        set => SafeSetString(ref workPhone, value);
    }

    private void SafeSetString(ref string target, string source)
    {
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(source))
        {
            target = source;
        }
    }
}

SafeSetString方法可以放在Utilities类中或任何有意义的地方。

我用ExpressionTree变体和c#7写了一个包装器(如果有人感兴趣的话):

public class Accessor<T>
{
    private Action<T> Setter;
    private Func<T> Getter;

    public Accessor(Expression<Func<T>> expr)
    {
        var memberExpression = (MemberExpression)expr.Body;
        var instanceExpression = memberExpression.Expression;
        var parameter = Expression.Parameter(typeof(T));

        if (memberExpression.Member is PropertyInfo propertyInfo)
        {
            Setter = Expression.Lambda<Action<T>>(Expression.Call(instanceExpression, propertyInfo.GetSetMethod(), parameter), parameter).Compile();
            Getter = Expression.Lambda<Func<T>>(Expression.Call(instanceExpression, propertyInfo.GetGetMethod())).Compile();
        }
        else if (memberExpression.Member is FieldInfo fieldInfo)
        {
            Setter = Expression.Lambda<Action<T>>(Expression.Assign(memberExpression, parameter), parameter).Compile();
            Getter = Expression.Lambda<Func<T>>(Expression.Field(instanceExpression,fieldInfo)).Compile();
        }

    }

    public void Set(T value) => Setter(value);

    public T Get() => Getter();
}

像这样使用它:

var accessor = new Accessor<string>(() => myClient.WorkPhone);
accessor.Set("12345");
Assert.Equal(accessor.Get(), "12345");
