Problem
When logging in C#, how can I learn the name of the method that called the current method? I know all about
System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod(), but I want to go one step beneath this in the stack trace. I've considered parsing the stack trace, but I am hoping to find a cleaner more explicit way, something like Assembly.GetCallingAssembly() but for methods.Solution
Try this:
one-liner:
using System.Diagnostics;
// Get call stack
StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace();
// Get calling method name
Console.WriteLine(stackTrace.GetFrame(1).GetMethod().Name);one-liner:
(new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace()).GetFrame(1).GetMethod().NameCode Snippets
using System.Diagnostics;
// Get call stack
StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace();
// Get calling method name
Console.WriteLine(stackTrace.GetFrame(1).GetMethod().Name);(new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace()).GetFrame(1).GetMethod().NameContext
