Question

I have C# Function like this :

private void test(){}

Is there any way to find Invoker or caller of a function ?

For example :

private void Caller(){
test();
}

then how can I understand that test was invoked by Caller ?

Answer 1

You can get the names of the methods from call stack.

When you call a function, the name also as the other info is pushed to call stack so the program knows how to return from that function call. You can use that info to obtain the previous function that called your test() function.

To get stacktrace you can use the following:

StackTrace stackTrace = new StackTrace();
StackFrame[] stackFrames = stackTrace.GetFrames();

Console.WriteLine(stackFrames[1].GetMethod().Name);
