I’m writing a logging class in C# and would like to add the method

  • 0

I’m writing a logging class in C# and would like to add the method from which the log call was made. Doing this manually isn’t too attractive. Is there a way to know which method the currently executing code is in?

Thanks in advance for your awesomeness…

Gregg

EDIT: Using MethodBase…

 System.Reflection.MethodBase thisMethod = System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod();
 Console.WriteLine("This method is: " + thisMethod.Name);

    Use MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod:

    Returns a MethodBase object representing the currently executing method.

    The MethodBase type has a Name property that is the name of the currently executing method as a string.

    As a side note, perhaps you should look into existing logging frameworks so that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
