Question

Let me use the following example to explain my question:

public string ExampleFunction(string Variable) {     return something; }  string WhatIsMyName = "Hello World"; string Hello = ExampleFunction(WhatIsMyName); 

When I pass the variable WhatIsMyName to the ExampleFunction, I want to be able to get a string of the original variable’s name. Perhaps something like:

Variable.OriginalName.ToString() // == "WhatIsMyName" 

Is there any way to do this?

No. I don’t think so.

The variable name that you use is for your convenience and readability. The compiler doesn’t need it & just chucks it out if I’m not mistaken.

If it helps, you could define a new class called NamedParameter with attributes Name and Param. You then pass this object around as parameters.
