Getting class property name in C#

Question

I want to write common function which get all or single class property name

public class MyClass
{
        public int TemplateId { get; set; }
        public int TemplateCategoryId { get; set; }
}

Example: In other method I need to call

var propertyName = MyClass.TemplateId.GetPrertyName(); // will Return TemplateId

How can I make it?

I've searched and read through it. But I dont want to using Lambda expression because it is hard to read and understand. I think that i will use nameof function. — TuanDPH, Dec 01 '17 at 08:06
Sorry. This is only possible way if you want to pass it into function. Also, it is not hard to read. Lambdas are common C# element. — Euphoric, Dec 01 '17 at 08:08

Using the c# 6 nameof operator, you can write:

nameof(MyClass.TemplateId);
