Get property with expression as a method input










0















Is there an expression that I can have as my method input to make this call work.



public class Person

public string FirstName get;set;
public string LastName get;set;
public int Age get;set;


var obj = BuildIt.Build(Person.FirstName, Person.LastName, Person.Age);


I know that I can do it like this:



var obj = BuildIt.Build((Person p) => p.FirstName, (Person p) => p.LastName, (Person p) => p.Age);


But that just feels clumsy and if there is more properties that I want into the method it is a lot of code to write.



So something that works like the nameof() keyword :)



Best regards
/Magnus
