C#: Getting Names of properties in a chain from lambda expression

by

Something like this?

public void Foo<T, P>(Expression<Func<T, P>> expr)
{
    MemberExpression me;
    switch (expr.Body.NodeType)
    {
        case ExpressionType.Convert:
        case ExpressionType.ConvertChecked:
            var ue = expr.Body as UnaryExpression;
            me = ((ue != null) ? ue.Operand : null) as MemberExpression;
            break;
        default:
            me = expr.Body as MemberExpression;
            break;
    }

    while (me != null)
    {
        string propertyName = me.Member.Name;
        Type propertyType = me.Type;

        Console.WriteLine(propertyName + ": " + propertyType);

        me = me.Expression as MemberExpression;
    }
}
