[c#] What is the purpose of nameof?

One of the usage of nameof keyword is for setting Binding in wpf programmatically.

to set Binding you have to set Path with string, and with nameof keyword, it's possible to use Refactor option.

For example, if you have IsEnable dependency property in your UserControl and you want to bind it to IsEnable of some CheckBox in your UserControl, you can use these two codes:

CheckBox chk = new CheckBox();
Binding bnd = new Binding ("IsEnable") { Source = this };
chk.SetBinding(IsEnabledProperty, bnd);

and

CheckBox chk = new CheckBox();
Binding bnd = new Binding (nameof (IsEnable)) { Source = this };
chk.SetBinding(IsEnabledProperty, bnd);

It's obvious the first code can't refactor but the secend one...
