一起谈.NET技术，用lambda去除Magic-String

string是我们的朋友。我们离不开string，但是有时候string也挺烦人的。

比如说，下面的代码，根据方法名来获取MethodInfo：

var info = typeof (DateTime).GetMethod( " ToShortDateSting " );
Console.WriteLine(info.Name);

进行“Rename Method”重构时，重构工具是不会去对string进行重命名的。

我们不得不手动去一个一个改。如果漏了一个，我们也不能能当场知道，等到程序报错时就太晚了！

我们可以通过lambda表达式，来获取MethodInfo：

var info = Reflect.GetMethod < DateTime > (dt => dt.ToShortDateString());
Console.WriteLine(info.Name);

同样，我们可以获取PropertyInfo：

var dayProperty = Reflect.GetProperty < DateTime > (dt => dt.Day);
Console.WriteLine(dayProperty.Name);

下面是实现代码：

public static class Reflect
{
public static MethodInfo GetMethod < TClass > (Expression < Action < TClass >> expression)
{
var methodCall = expression.Body as MethodCallExpression;
if (methodCall == null )
{
throw new ArgumentException( " Expected method call " );
}
return methodCall.Method;
}

public static PropertyInfo GetProperty < TClass > (Expression < Func < TClass, object >> expression)
{
MemberExpression memberExpression;
var unary = expression.Body as UnaryExpression;
if (unary != null )
{
memberExpression = unary.Operand as MemberExpression;
}
else
{
memberExpression = expression.Body as MemberExpression;
}
if (memberExpression == null || ! (memberExpression.Member is PropertyInfo))
{
throw new ArgumentException( " Expected property expression " );
}
return (PropertyInfo) memberExpression.Member;
}
}

更实用的例子是，MVC的RedirectToAction方法：

public class HomeController : Controller
{
public void Index()
{
if ( ! UserIsLoggedIn)
{
RedirectToAction( " Login "  );
}
}  
  public void Login()
{
}
}

用同样的方法，上面的代码，可以重写为：

public class HomeController : Controller
{
public void Index()
{
if ( ! UserIsLoggedIn)
{
this .RedirectToAction(c => c.Login());
}
}

  public void Login()

{
}
}

下面是实现代码：

public static class ControllerExtensions
{
public static void RedirectToAction < TController > ( this TController controller, Expression < Action < TController >> expression) where TController : Controller
{
var methodCall = expression.Body as MethodCallExpression;
if (methodCall == null )
{
throw new ArgumentException( " Expected method call " );
}
controller.RedirectToAction(methodCall.Method.Name);
}
}
