title: Workaround for lack of 'nameof' operator in C# for type-safe databinding?
body: <p>There has been a lot of sentiment to include a <code>nameof</code> operator in C#. As an example of how this operator would work, <code>nameof(Customer.Name)</code> would return the string <code>"Name"</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I have a domain object. And I have to bind it. And I need names of properties as strings then. And I want them to be type-safe.</p>
  
  <p>I remember coming across a workaround in .NET 3.5 which provided the functionality of <code>nameof</code> and involved lambda expressions. However, I have not been able to locate this workaround. Can anyone provide that workaround to me?</p>
  
  <p>I am also interested in a way to implement the functionality of <code>nameof</code> in .NET 2.0 if that is possible.</p>
