Retrieving the name of a variable

[cpastre]

I'd be grateful if one of you good folks would please explain to me a method by which I may obtain the name of a variable. Specifically, I'm iterating through a MenuItems collection and I'd like to compare the name of each MenuItem to a value stored in a database in order to determine whether the menu item should be enabled for the user. For example...

<code>
MenuItem miTest;

Console.Write(GetVariableName(miTest)); //would output &quot;miTest&quot;
</code>

Thanks,
Charlie

miTest.ToString should do the job
