How can I get a passed parameters name in C# (with nameof)

Question

This returns parameter. I want to get i_want_to_know_this so I don't have to press CTRL+C 8 times. (So I can loop with foreach (int parameter in items[]) )

static void get_parameters_name(int parameter){
    // get the passed in parameter's name
    Console.WriteLine("this parameter is called: " + parameterName);
}
int i_want_to_know_this = 0;

get_parameters_name(i_want_to_know_this);

Answer 1

When you wrap it in a method, the parameter name is the name of the parameter in the method, not of what was passed in. The following line will print "i_want_to_know_this".

Console.WriteLine($"This parameter is called {nameof(i_want_to_know_this)}");
