How set value a property selector Expression

by

This works:

The following helper method converts a getter expression into a setter delegate. If you want to return an Expression<Action<T,TProperty>> instead of an Action<T,TProperty>, just don’t call the Compile() method at the end.

Note: The code is from Ian Mercer’s blog: http://blog.abodit.com/2011/09/convert-a-property-getter-to-a-setter/

    /// <summary>
    /// Convert a lambda expression for a getter into a setter
    /// </summary>
    public static Action<T, TProperty> GetSetter<T, TProperty>(Expression<Func<T, TProperty>> expression)
    {
        var memberExpression = (MemberExpression)expression.Body;
        var property = (PropertyInfo)memberExpression.Member;
        var setMethod = property.GetSetMethod();

        var parameterT = Expression.Parameter(typeof(T), "x");
        var parameterTProperty = Expression.Parameter(typeof(TProperty), "y");

        var newExpression =
            Expression.Lambda<Action<T, TProperty>>(
                Expression.Call(parameterT, setMethod, parameterTProperty),
                parameterT,
                parameterTProperty
            );

        return newExpression.Compile();
    }
