Traverse an expression tree and extract parameters
I think as you've said that using ExpressionVisitor
works out to be a good approach. You don't need to implement all the Visit...
methods as they already have a default implementation. From what I understood what you want is to find all property accesses of a certain type inside a lambda function
public class MemberAccessVisitor : ExpressionVisitor
{
private readonly Type declaringType;
private IList<string> propertyNames = new List<string>();
public MemberAccessVisitor(Type declaringType)
{
this.declaringType = declaringType;
}
public IEnumerable<string> PropertyNames { get { return propertyNames; } }
public override Expression Visit(Expression expr)
{
if (expr != null && expr.NodeType == ExpressionType.MemberAccess)
{
var memberExpr = (MemberExpression)expr;
if (memberExpr.Member.DeclaringType == declaringType)
{
propertyNames.Add(memberExpr.Member.Name);
}
}
return base.Visit(expr);
}
}
This could be further improved to what you want by checking the member is a property and also to get PropertyInfo
rather than strings
It could be used as follows:
var visitor = new MemberAccessVisitor(typeof(TSource));
visitor.Visit(memberMap);
var propertyNames = visitor.PropertyNames;
