CodePropertyReferenceExpression can be used to represent a reference to the value of a property.

The TargetObject property specifies the object that contains the property to reference. The PropertyName property specifies the name of the property to reference.

This object does not have a property to indicate whether the reference is used in a get or set. If the property reference occurs on the left, assigned to, side of an assignment statement, then it is a set.

The following example code demonstrates use of a CodePropertyReferenceExpression to refer to a property.

C#
C++
VB
Copy 

CodePropertyReferenceExpression propertyRef1 = 
    new CodePropertyReferenceExpression(new CodeThisReferenceExpression(), "TestProperty");

// A C# code generator produces the following source code for the preceeding example code:

//    this.TestProperty
