Question
I have a expression of this type:
Expression<Action<T>> expression
how do I get the parameters names from this expression (optional: and values) ?
example:
o => o.Method("value1", 2, new Object());
names could be str_par1, int_par2, obj_par3
Accepted Answer
Expression<Action<Thing>> exp = o => o.Method(1, 2, 3);
var methodInfo = ((MethodCallExpression)exp.Body).Method;
var names = methodInfo.GetParameters().Select(pi => pi.Name);

You can get the parameter names from the Parameters property.
For example:
Expression<Action<string, int>> expr = (a, b) => (a + b).ToString();
var names = expr.Parameters.Select(p => p.Name); //Names contains "a" and "b"
For the second part, lambda expressions are just uncompiled functions.
Their parameters don't have values until you compile the expression and call the delegate with some values.
If you take the lambda expression i => i.ToString(), where are there any parameter values?
