Find the MethodBase value of the calling method
Technique to find the MethodBase object of the method that has called the current method.
public static void Foo() { // declare our MethodBase variable. System.Reflection.MethodBase method = null; // get the stack frame 1 spot from our current position, // this will be the method that called the current method. System.Diagnostics.StackFrame frame = new System.Diagnostics.StackFrame(1); // make sure we got back a valid StackFrame value if (frame != null) { // get the method object of the StackFrame object. method = frame.GetMethod(); } else { // no previous StackFrame object found??? // This should never happen. Get the current method so we'll have // a valid value. method = System.Reflection.MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod(); } // At this point, we have a valid value for the 'method' object. // Do something with it. For example, get the name of the method. string name = method.Name; }
