NameOf operator - Visual Basic
The NameOf
operator obtains the name of a variable, type, or member as the string constant:
Console.WriteLine(NameOf(System.Collections.Generic)) ' output: Generic
Console.WriteLine(NameOf(List(Of Integer))) ' output: List
Console.WriteLine(NameOf(List(Of Integer).Count)) ' output: Count
Console.WriteLine(NameOf(List(Of Integer).Add)) ' output: Add
Dim numbers As New List(Of Integer) From { 1, 2, 3 }
Console.WriteLine(NameOf(numbers)) ' output: numbers
Console.WriteLine(NameOf(numbers.Count)) ' output: Count
Console.WriteLine(NameOf(numbers.Add)) ' output: Add
As the preceding example shows, in the case of a type and a namespace, the produced name is usually not fully qualified.
The NameOf
operator is evaluated at compile time, and has no effect at run time.
You can use the NameOf
operator to make the argument-checking code more maintainable:
Private _name As String
Public Property Name As String
Get
Return _name
End Get
Set
If value Is Nothing Then
Throw New ArgumentNullException(NameOf(value), $"{NameOf(name)} cannot be null.")
End If
End Set
End Property
The NameOf
operator is available in Visual Basic 14 and later.
