get methodinfo from a method reference C#

Question

We can use a C#

typeof

keyword when we want to get Type instance for specified type. But what can I use if I want to get

MethodInfo

of a method by it's reference?

For example I have a simple console app. It contains

Program.Main

method. I want to get

MethodInfo

by using something like

methodinfoof(Program.Main)

. I have this problem because the method names might change, so I cannot just use

Type.GetMethodInfo(string MethodName)

for that.

I have about 10 000 methods for which I would like to get

MethodInfo

, so adding any custom attributes or anything else to my methods is not a solution.

Slight adaptation of a previously posted answer, but this blog post seems to achieve what you're asking for; http://blog.functionalfun.net/2009/10/getting-methodinfo-of-generic-method.html

Sample usage would be as follows;

var methodInfo = SymbolExtensions.GetMethodInfo(() => Program.Main());
