using nameof to check the name

Jassim Al Rahma 1,526

Hi,

How can I check the nameof to check the name like this:

if (nameof(stackLayout) == "StackLayoutCurrentUV")
{
    uv = true;
}
else
{
    uv = false;
}

I tried the above but did not work

Kind Regards,
Jassim Al Rahma

nameof() is a compile time feature, and returns the name of the variable.

nameof(stackLayout) == “stackLayout”

I tried this but did not work:

StackLayout stackLayout = (StackLayout)sender; if (nameof(stackLayout) == "StackLayoutCurrentUV") { uv = true; } else { uv = false; }

Clearly you are not paying attention to Bruce-SqlWorks's post or the nameof() reference documentation. Also you have not explained what "not work" means to you.

The nameof(stackLayout) method returns the variable name "stackLayout" and will never return "StackLayoutCurrentUV".

Should we assume to you want the variable's value???

uv = stackLayout == "StackLayoutCurrentUV";
