C# property names without hardcoded strings

public class Person
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

public class Test
{
    protected void InitDropDownList()
    {
        DropDownList ddl = new DropDownList();
        ddl.DataSource = new List<Person> { 
            new Person{ Id = 1, Name = "John Smith" },
            new Person{ Id =  2,Name = "Moshe Perez" } };

        //Old and bad way
        ddl.DataValueField = "Id";
        ddl.DataTextField = "Name";

        //New way
        ddl.DataValueField = GetPropertyName(() => new Person().Id);
        ddl.DataValueField = GetPropertyName(() => new Person().Name);

        ddl.DataBind();
    }

    private static string GetPropertyName<T>

(Expression<Func<T>> expression)
    {
        MemberExpression body = (MemberExpression)expression.Body;
        return body.Member.Name;
    }
}

Test value generator

Frequently in the test time required to set random values to variables. The simple class will help you to save a time in the future:

public static class Generator
{
    public static readonly Random RND = new Random();
        
    // Generate IP address
    public static string GetIP(bool isIPv6 = false)
    {
        if (isIPv6)
        {
            return string.Format("{0}.{1}.{2}.{3}.{4}.{5}", RND.Next(0,256), RND.Next(0,256), RND.Next(0,256), RND.Next(0,256), RND.Next(0,256), RND.Next(0,256));
        }
        return string.Format("{0}.{1}.{2}.{3}", RND.Next(0,256), RND.Next(0,256), RND.Next(0,256), RND.Next(0,256));
    }

    // Generate GPS coordinate
    public static System.Device.Location.GeoCoordinate GetGeo()
    {
        return new System.Device.Location.GeoCoordinate

        int symbolsAmount =  (int) size * percentOfSymbols /100;
        int digitAmount = (int)size * percentOfDigits / 100;
        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++)

                digitAmount--;
            }
            else

                bool isLower = RND.Next(2) == 0 ? false : true;
                ch = Convert.ToChar(

                        Math.Floor(26 * RND.NextDouble() + ((isLower) ? 65 : 97))
                            )
                        );

            }
            builder.Append(ch);
        }
        return builder.ToString();
    }
    // Generate Date
    public static DateTime GetDate()
