Apparently it only works if you have previously used the WriteExpression() method on the object and the specific property. Doesn't work with default values or with values entered at design-time or programmatically at runtime directly to the property. This contradicts the documentation which states that it returns the value entered in the properties window. But maybe I am missing something here.
I suppose if you want to retrieve the property's value and display it you can always use Transform(object.Property) :)
